Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons plain gelatin
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 4 egg yolks
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons dark rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 cups whipped cream, for garnish
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, milk, and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 7-8 minutes). Do not let it boil.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved.

Step 8

Add the dark rum, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg to the mixture, stirring to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Pour the cooled eggnog filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream and a light dusting of ground cinnamon for a festive touch.
