I love pie for holiday meals, and so does my family! This year I wanted to try something different from the apple, pumpkin and pecan pies that I usually make, so here is a recipe for Holiday Eggnog Custard Pie!
Custard pies are easy to make, and don’t involve a lot of preparation or chopping up fruit. I used a pre-made pie crust, although you could certainly use your favorite made from homemade pie crust recipe.
The custard is made by combining eggs and evaporated milk with eggnog and baking until it has firmed up and makes a satisfying and creamy dessert.
The custard is light, almost fluffy but also sweet. For true eggnog flavor I added a little bit of spiced rum, and topped it off with sprinkled cinnamon, nutmeg and of course it needs whipped cream before serving!
