Ingredients You'll Need:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup ice water

For the Eggnog Filling:

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Making the Crust:

1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
2. Cut in butter: Add the chilled butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add water: Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Chill the dough: Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
5. Roll and bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Making the Eggnog Filling:

1. Whisk eggs and sugars: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
2. Add dry ingredients: Whisk in flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
3. Stir in eggnog and cream: Gradually whisk in the eggnog and heavy cream until smooth.
4. Pour into crust: Pour the eggnog filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
5. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden. A slight jiggle in the center is okay.
6. Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Tips for the Perfect Eggnog Pie:

• Use high-quality eggnog: The flavor of your eggnog will greatly impact the final taste of the pie.
• Don't overbake: Overbaking can result in a dry pie. Check for doneness at 45 minutes and add a few minutes if needed.
• Let it cool completely: Allowing the pie to cool completely ensures a creamy, firm filling.
• Garnish and serve: Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
