If you love eggnog and you're a fan of custard pie, this baked eggnog pie recipe is an absolute must-try over the holiday season. Using store-bought eggnog and pie crust, you'll need just five additional ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep to make this a new holiday tradition.
How to Make Eggnog Pie
You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here are some expert tips and tricks for making the perfect eggnog pie:
- Make It Boozy: If you can't resist adding brandy or rum to your eggnog when you drink it, you may want to try adding a splash to this pie, too! You can simply replace about 2 tablespoons of eggnog with your alcohol of choice; brandy or dark rum would be perfect additions. If you want to keep the pie alcohol-free but still want the flavor, you can add a teaspoon of brandy or rum extract.
- Spice Things Up: For extra holiday flavor, you can consider adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the eggnog mixture as well as 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Or, as seen in the video, you can simply add a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg on top before baking.
- Watch the Sugar: If your store-bought eggnog is already pretty sweet, or if you prefer less-sweet desserts in general, you may want to consider reducing the added sugar in the pie filling by 1/4 cup. Many reviewers noted using just 1 cup of sugar with success.
- One Pie or Two? Using a 9-inch deep dish pie crust, this recipe makes one pie. You can make two pies (and speed things up by reducing the baking time!) by dividing the filling between two regular 9-inch pie crusts. Either way, be sure your pie crusts are thawed if frozen, and no need to pre-bake.
