Eggnog Pumpkin Pie
- 1 unbaked crust for 9 inch pie
- 15 ounces can of pumpkin (2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups good quality egg nog (not low fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (be generous)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- generous grating of nutmeg
- Fresh whipped cream and cinnamon sugar, for garnish
- Arrange oven racks so there is one in the lower third for your pie. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a 9 inch pie plate with the crust, turning top part under and pressing to form a decorative edge, if you like . Keep in the fridge until your filling is ready.
- Mix all remaining ingredients (except the whipped cream and cinnamon sugar!) in a large bowl using a wire whisk. Pour into prepared crust.
- Cover the edges of the pie with tin foil, or a crust protector if you have one, to prevent them from getting too brown while the custard bakes.
- Bake on that lower oven rack at 425 degrees for 15 min. Turn heat down to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and a sharp knife comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours.
- If you have time, refrigerate for several more hours or overnight. Take out 1 hour before serving to warm pie to room temperature. Slice and garnish with fresh whipped cream, dusted with a bit of cinnamon sugar.
