Eggnog Pie

This delicate Bavarian cream pie features a homemade eggnog that can be made in the microwave or on the stovetop. A graham cracker crust may be substituted for pre-baked pie crust. Creating this pie is a bit to do, but well worth the time spent!

Ingredients

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ cup rum
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • ¼ pinch white sugar
  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; set aside to soften. Combine milk and 1/2 cup sugar in a small glass bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes or until milk begins to boil.
  • In a steady stream, pour hot milk into beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Cook custard in the microwave, whisking after each minute, until it thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in softened gelatin and mix until melted. Stir in rum.
  • Let filling cool to room temperature. (If you refrigerate it, stir occasionally to prevent gelatin from setting too soon. See Editor's Note.)
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form; beat in 1/4 cup sugar.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of whipped cream for garnish; keep refrigerated. Fold remaining whipped cream into eggnog mixture. Pour filling into pie crust and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
