Holiday Eggnog Custard Pie
Description
This Holiday Eggnog Custard Pie features a crust pressed into a pie plate and pre-baked to prevent sogginess. The filling is primarily a smooth custard made by creaming sugar and eggs, then blending in evaporated milk, eggnog, water, spiced rum, and salt. The custard is poured into the crust and sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg, contributing aromatic warmth and a seasonal touch. Baking at 350°F for one hour allows the custard to set firmly, testable by a clean toothpick.
The pie’s tender, creamy texture combined with the rich, spiced eggnog flavor makes it a suitable dessert for the holiday season. It can be served warm or chilled and paired with whipped cream for extra richness and festive presentation.
Using a homemade pie crust can improve texture and flavor, but a quality refrigerated crust also works. This pie requires gentle handling to achieve a smooth and firm custard consistency without curdling.

- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 egg

- ⅛ teaspoon salt
