It’s a time to gather with loved ones, share laughter, and indulge in delicious treats that make the season special. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a recipe that embodies the spirit of the holidays: Holiday Eggnog Pie. This pie is not only incredibly easy to make but also captures the essence of festive flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups eggnog
  • 3 large beaten eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust

How to Make Holiday Eggnog Pie

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the pie will bake evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and all-purpose flour. Stir until they are well blended.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the eggnog, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Prepare the Crust: Place the unbaked deep-dish pie crust in a pie dish. If you’re using a store-bought crust, ensure it’s properly thawed and fits snugly in the dish.
  5. Fill the Crust: Pour the eggnog mixture into the pie crust, filling it to just below the edge.
  6. Bake the Pie: Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This helps the filling to set properly. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Helpful Tips

  • Prevent Over-Browning: If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Check for Doneness: The pie should have a slight jiggle in the center when done. It will firm up as it cools.
  • Chill Time: For best results, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Substitutions/Variations

  • Spiced Eggnog Pie: Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon to the filling for a spiced twist.
  • Alcohol-Free Version: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, make sure to use alcohol-free eggnog.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free pie crust and substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
