Directions to follow

Follow these simple steps to bring your Eggnog Pie to life:

2. Stir in the freshly ground nutmeg until fully blended.
3. In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture until incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy your festive pie!

Best ways to enjoy it

When it’s time to serve your Eggnog Pie, consider garnishing it with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dollop of extra whipped cream for that added flair. It pairs beautifully with spiced cookies or a warm cup of coffee. For those extra festive moments, why not serve it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream?

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your Eggnog Pie fresh, cover it tightly and store in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to three days. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze the unfilled pie crust, but it’s best to avoid freezing the filled pie as the cream may not maintain its texture after thawing.

Extra advice

For the best results, be careful not to over-whip your cream; it’s meant to be soft and airy, not stiff. Freshly ground nutmeg really elevates the flavor, so if possible, skip the pre-ground option.

Creative twists

Want to mix it up? Consider adding a splash of bourbon to the filling for an adult twist, or swap in chocolate pudding for a decadent chocolate-egg nog fusion. You might also think about topping it with crushed gingerbread cookies or coconut flakes for a unique texture and flavor.
