Eggnog Custard Pie is a delicious silky smooth dessert made of milk, eggs, nutmeg and eggnog.

If you love eggnog, make this seasonal holiday pie while you can. After the holidays, you have to wait almost a year before they stock eggnog again.

Eggnog Custard Pie for the holidays!

If you have read my previous post Eggnog White Russian cocktail and Eggnog cookies, I have mentioned I am not a fan of drinking eggnog by itself due to its sweetness but added to cookies, cakes or even alcoholic drinks it is so yummy. Adding spices take away that eggy, so sweet and rich characteristics of eggnog.

So, if you are one of those people who never cared for eggnog like me, try incorporating it with baked goods and alcoholic drinks, you might change your mind.

After making this Eggnog Custard Pie, if you find that the eggnog is overpowering, replace some with milk. Tweak the recipe to your liking.

I promise you, this recipe has a subtle eggnog flavor and sweetness. I love desserts but too sweet and too rich is not my idea of a decadent dessert.

Hopefully by now I have convinced you to try this delicious pie. Your holiday dinner is not complete without any treats, this could be the one to satisfy everyone’s taste buds after a scrumptious dinner. But first, ….

What is Eggnog?

Eggnog is a custard like drink, rich, sweet and thick made of milk, cream, sugar and raw egg yolks. It is synonymous with the holidays since you’ll find it in groceries around Thanksgiving till about New Year.

After New Year’s Eve, you’re lucky to find one carton left in the grocery cooler. Stores usually have them on sale right after Christmas to get rid of their inventory.

Tip: Get yourself a carton while you can get it, portion and freeze it. I have collected quite a few small bottle containers and I portioned it based on how much I need for my recipe.

As an example, this Eggnog Custard Pie calls for ½ cup eggnog. I measured ½ a cup, poured it in one of my bottle and labeled with the amount and what I’m using it for.

Can I make Homemade Eggnog?

Of course, you can but use pasteurize eggs. Store bought eggnog is usually pasteurized and it is safe to drink.

Homemade eggnog uses raw eggs, so it is a MUST that you use pasteurized eggs to prevent salmonella poisoning.

What is Pasteurized?

Pasteurization is a process or treatment in which water and certain packaged and non-packaged food are subjected to mild heat, usually less than 100 deg. C or 212 deg. F to prevent bacteria and extend shelf life.

How to Make Eggnog Custard Pie

During the holidays, time is so limited especially if you are working. You’re busy wrapping up your shopping list, running errands to get all your ingredients, tidying up the house and cooking for your celebration. Too many things are happening in a short amount of time.

With this busy schedule, you don’t have to make everything from scratch. A store bought pie crust will work well with this recipe.

The deliciousness of the filling will make up for the crust. Everyone will think it's all homemade.
