EASY EGGNOG PIE



My husband loves eggnog. Or “nog” as he usually refers to it as. I am pretty sure it’s why I can get him to do the grocery shopping easily in late fall, because he’s stalking the dairy department for eggnog. Eggnog is take it or leave it for me, it’s more the texture than the flavor that just isn’t my thing. The flavor I like, the bordering on shake like consistency, not so much. While I was making a chocolate pie this weekend, it dawned on me that replacing the milk with eggnog in a vanilla pie would result in a super easy eggnog pie.

A warning, this is rich. Well, I mean, it’s made with eggnog, which is basically like drinking cream, so yeah, rich. You could totally cut back on some of the eggnog and replace it with milk. Oh, also – one thing to pay attention to – the premade graham cracker pie crust my eggnog store searching husband picked up, was a bigger pie crust – “two extra slices” or something like that. While that’s great and all, pie crusts are kind of a standard to some extent so a jumbo one can mess with your recipes. I was a little short on filling for this, and sort of pushed more of it towards the outer edge. Just something to pay attention to if you are buying a ready made crust.

I have been buying the lower calorie eggnog and mixing it with milk because the regular stuff is too rich for me, so this recipe should work out perfectly!

Thanks!
