Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.5 cups Dark rum
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Pecans (optional, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan to form a crust. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, light brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and dark rum. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped pecans. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.

Step 6

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggles in the center when gently shaken.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop and set.

Step 8

Before serving, dust the top of the chilled pie with powdered sugar for a decorative finish. Slice and enjoy!
