Eggnog Brulee Pie
Ingredients
Single pie crust
Filling:
4 Tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
4 Tablespoons butter melted
2¼ cups full-fat eggnog
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping:
4 Tablespoons butter melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar + 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon mixed together
Instructions
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°.
Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 325°.
While crust bakes, prepare your filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and granulated sugar until no clumps remain and mixture is cohesive. Whisk in the melted butter, eggnog, and nutmeg and turn the stove on medium. Cook and stir constantly until mixture thickens and becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. It should look like thick pudding. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Pour the filling into the prepared partially-baked pie crust and smooth out the top. Pour the melted butter topping over the pie filling and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture liberally over the top.
Bake for 25 minutes, then turn on the broiler and broil for 1 minute or until topping is golden brown and bubbly (watch it carefully to prevent burning!). Cool the pie completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 1 hour to set.
