Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 2 cups eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus extra for garnish
  • Pinch of salt

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prep your graham cracker crust by laying it gently on a baking sheet to make handling easier.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth—don’t worry if it looks thick or slightly clumpy at this stage.
  • Slowly add the eggnog to the saucepan while whisking continuously to combine everything. This helps prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly. It will start thickening after 5-6 minutes. Once it coats the back of a spoon nicely, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and nutmeg.
  • Pour this warm custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • With a handheld mixer, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form—this adds that fluffy, velvety texture to the pie filling.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled custard, making sure to keep as much air as possible for a light finish.
  • Pour this mixture into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the pie for 10-12 minutes to set everything perfectly without overcooking. This gentle bake gives a slight firmness so the filling doesn’t wiggle when sliced.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for another 2-3 hours or overnight to deepen flavors and set beautifully.
  • Before serving, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top for that final festive touch. Grab a fork and dig in while sharing stories or holiday tunes.
