There are certain flavours that remind us of the holiday season. When you get a sudden smell or taste of cinnamon, gingerbread, hot cocoa, or eggnog it gives you the feeling of happiness and joy. This is exactly what the season is all about and this Eggnog Pie gives you just that!
How to Make Eggnog
The ingredients in an eggnog consist of egg yolks, milk, cream, sugar, and spices such a cinnamon and nutmeg. You can have the eggnog with alcohol or without it. What do you mix with eggnog to make it alcoholic? Distilled spirits such as rum, whiskey, and brandy can be added for a spiked eggnog. You can make any of these homemade eggnog recipes for the family or whip up these eggnog with alcohol recipes for adults!
Storing Eggnog
During the fall and winter months, you will be able to find an abundance of eggnog in the grocery stores. The rest of the year, not so much. That’s why most recipes using eggnog are made around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Can eggnog be frozen? The answer is yes, but only for about 6 months for both homemade and store-bought. When storing it in the freezer, you can keep it in a plastic container or in the carton it comes in or pour it into an air-tight container but make sure to leave a little bit of headspace as it will expand when freezing.
Gingerbread Crumble
Have you ever thought of switching up your pie crust from the regular graham pie crust or a pastry crust? Using gingersnaps is a simple way to create the perfect holiday pies and no bake desserts. It is just as easy as a graham crust, but so much yummier. If you like gingerbread, then check out this Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie.
Gingersnap cookies are dry, crumble easily, and have instant flavour already added in so there is no need to add extra spices. If you want to prepare the crumbs ahead of time before making your eggnog pie, just crush them up and store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. If you want to experiment with this eggnog pie recipe, it will go well with chocolate, lemon, and many other different fruits. Don’t be afraid to switch up your pie crust this holiday season and make an eggnog pie with a gingersnap crust. Your friends and family will thank you for a wonderful tasting Christmas pie.
