Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups Graham Gingersnap Cookie crumbs
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Eggnog Custard Filling
- 4 large egg yolks room temperature
- 2 cups eggnog
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Rum Flavoring or 2 tablespoons spiced Rum
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pulse about 20 Gingersnap Cookies in a food processor, or smash in a sealed plastic bag until crumbs. Measure 2 cups of crumbs.
- In a medium size bowl stir together the Graham Cracker crumbs, Sugar and Butter. Mix until all the crumbs are moist.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of an un-greased 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removeable base. A spoon and measuring cup work well. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Cup of Yum
Make the Eggnog Custard Filling:
- In a small bowl, whisk the Egg Yolks until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the Eggnog in the microwave (or stovetop) until almost boiling.
- In a large saucepan, combine the Flour, Sugar, Nutmeg, and Salt. Pour in 1/2 cup Eggnog and mix together, ensuring there are no clumps in the corner of the pan.
- Over medium-low heat, bring to a low boil, whisking constantly. When the mixture begins to thicken, add the remaining Eggnog a half cup at a time, allowing it to thicken each time, until fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
- Using a large spoon, drizzle about 1/2 cup of the filling into the beaten Egg Yolks, whisking constantly until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the filling pot and cook on medium-low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the filling thickens to a custard consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Rum Flavoring, Vanilla and Butter, until smooth.
- For a smoother consistency, pour the custard through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps. This is optional.
- Allow the filling to cool, stirring occasionally, before pouring into cooled tart shell. Cover and chill in the fridge to let the filling set. If you’re in a hurry, chill in freezer for an hour, then in the fridge until firm.
- Decorate with gingerbread cookies, sugared cranberries, rosemary, or other Christmas decorations as desired. Slice and serve!
