I tried a couple eggnog pie recipes but couldn’t find one that was sufficiently eggnoggy. I experimented a lot and produced a lot of fairly good pies that weren’t what I was searching for before I achieved the outcomes I liked. I’m not really familiar with technical jargon. This pie actually tastes like eggnog and has a similar texture to pumpkin pie.

Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) pie crust pastry
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and cut excess crust from edges; fill with rice or pie weights.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Beat eggnog, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, egg whites, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl until smooth; pour into crust.
- Bake until pie is set in the middle, 50 to 60 minutes.
- This might work better if a water bath is used to bake but I didn’t have the means to try it.

Reviews
The whole house smelled like eggnog while I was cooking this. A word of caution. The amount of cinnamon and nutmeg listed is way too much. It does say season to taste but I would start out with a teaspoon of each and go from there. I made it with the amounts listed and it’s way too spicy.
No, I didn’t make it, but I love Eggnog, and I’m a good judge of ingredients. Sometime between Thanksgiving, and Christmas I’ll be making this for either a family get together, or a potluck at church. I’m sure the eggnog lovers in my family, or those at church will be surprised by the uniqueness of this pie.
Simply: Stunningly scrumptious
Was amazing…family loved it..now going to be added to the family tradition every Thanksgiving ! Had a great flavor and the aroma was strong of eggnog, plus the family members that hate eggnog thought it still was amazing and this recipe was easy to mix together.
