Eggnog Pie

Here is a post I shared over at Kiki Creates last week.  Click the button to see lots of fun ideas for the holidays!

The best part of Thanksgiving is the desserts, in my opinion.  I love me  good pumpkin, pecan, or apple pie...but today I have something new for you in case you are wanting to switch things up a bit!  I was looking for a pie that used up one of my husband's holiday favorites...eggnog, and ran across this recipe.  I knew he'd love it right away!  I had good intentions of making my own crust for this pie, but my time constraints on Sunday forced me to bust out the store bought version.  It was still great, and I can't wait to try it with a homemade pie crust!  

The eggnog flavor is subtle, if you ask me.  It's a sure crowd pleaser, and is super simple!

Eggnog Pie

2 cups eggnog

1 cup milk

1 package (4.6 ounces) cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix

1 tablespoon rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked

Whipped topping and additional ground nutmeg, optional

In a large saucepan, cook the eggnog, milk and pudding mix over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in rum and nutmeg. Pour pudding mixture into crust. Chill until set. Garnish with whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
