Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cups eggnog
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Additional ground nutmeg, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the eggnog, heavy cream, and ¼ cup of sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it reaches a gentle simmer.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth. Slowly pour the hot eggnog mixture into the bowl, whisking constantly.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Once the filling has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, pour it into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
8. Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg.
9. Enjoy the creamy and festive Holiday Eggnog Pie!
