Yield 8 servings

Anyone who likes to imbibe the creamy holiday drink is going to love eggnog pie. A buttery pie crust is paired with an eggnog filling for a festive, simple treat.

Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pie
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, optional

Directions

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in eggnog until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in gelatin until dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature.
Stir in extracts; fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate until firm. If desired, dust pie with cinnamon or nutmeg.

Even better than holiday eggnog in a glass is eggnog on a plate! This creamy pie delivers all that rich, wonderful flavor. It’s pretty, too, with a sprinkling of nutmeg on top. —Florence Shaw, East Wenatchee, Washington
