Ingredients

• 1 pre-made crust (9-inch) graham cracker crust
• 4 large egg yolks
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons nutmeg (ground)
• 1 cups (for topping) whipped cream
• 0.25 teaspoons (for garnish) ground cinnamon (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons (for garnish) nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook the mixture until it thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 7

Before serving, spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the pie. Dust lightly with additional nutmeg and ground cinnamon, if desired, for garnish.

Step 8

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your holiday-inspired Cel's Eggnog Pie!
