Our Old-Fashioned Eggnog Pie Is A Boozy Holiday Showstopper - Tasting Table

"Instead, this old-fashioned version features a buttery homemade crust filled with rich custard, made from scratch, the traditional way. We walk you through the whole tricky process, troubleshooting potential custard pitfalls to save your pie from ruin. We then spike the custard with rum and bourbon, chill it, and top the whole thing with billowy whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg. The filling tastes just like traditional creamy eggnog, with warm spices and a subtle boozy kick."

"For the crust, you'll need all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, cold butter, and ice water. The rich custard filling calls for egg yolks, cornstarch, granulated sugar, ground nutmeg, salt, whole milk, heavy cream, butter, dark rum, bourbon, and vanilla extract, all to imitate the flavor of traditional eggnog. (You can make meringue with your leftover egg whites.) For the topping, grab heavy cream and sugar for whipping, plus fresh nutmeg for garnish."

The recipe transforms eggnog flavors into a showstopping pie by combining a buttery homemade crust with a rich, scratch-made custard. The custard requires careful technique and troubleshooting to avoid common pitfalls, then is spiked with dark rum and bourbon for a subtle boozy warmth. After chilling, the pie is finished with billowy whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg for aromatic garnish. Ingredients include flour, butter, egg yolks, cornstarch, milk, cream, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla. Leftover egg whites can be used to make meringue. The result evokes traditional creamy eggnog with warm spices.
