Kates Spiced Spirited Eggnog Pie No Gelatin Or Cream Food

NO-BAKE EGGNOG CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Add the graham crackers and 1/4 cup of the sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated.
• Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. It may feel like you have too many crumbs but keep pressing until you have about a 3/4-inch-thick border all the way around. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Add the cookie butter and cream cheese to a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the eggnog.
• Add 1/2 cup heavy cream to a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 4 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture until just combined. Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• When the pie is ready to serve, add the remaining 1 cup heavy cream and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar to a small bowl. Whip on medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pie and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

KATE'S SPICED & SPIRITED EGGNOG PIE (NO GELATIN OR CREAM)

Steps:

• SPICED CRUMB CRUST: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Mix all ingredients. Press mixture firmly against bottom and side of 9 inch pie plate. Bake at 350F degrees for 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool on wire rack. Allow the crust to cool completely before filling. Yields 1 pie crust.
• SPICED & SPIRITED EGGNOG PIE: Beat egg yolks with fork in medium bowl. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan, sift cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure there are no clumps because they will cause lumps later. Gradually stir in eggnog, 2 tablespoons of dark rum, and 2 tablespoons of brandy. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil. Boil and stir 1 minute.
• Immediately stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then stir back into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and simmer 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into one fully baked Spiced Crumb Crust. Press plastic wrap on filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top, but do not cover edges of crust tightly with plastic wrap because crust will get soggy. Refrigerate at least 3 hours until set and chilled. Store in the refrigerator.
• SPIRITED WHIPPED TOPPING: Whip heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, ¾ teaspoon of dark rum, 3/4 teaspoon of brandy, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla together until stiff. Dollop on top of pie when serving.
• NOTE: It is worth spending a little more money on good quality rum and brandy for a big improvement in flavor. I use Bacardi Select Dark Rum. Since good brandy is very expensive, I buy one 50 ml mini bottle of Remy Martin Fine Champagne Cognac VSOP. (Champagne Cognac is another name for brandy from the Cognac region of France).
