Eggnog Pie

Eggnog Pie

This pie recipe comes from the Sandusky History Blog. (Ohio) This recipe is very similar to one which an aunt would bring to family gatherings. I will confess, it was always worth the calories!

Ingredients:

Soften:

1 teaspoon Knox gelatin in

1 Tablespoon cold water

*

Mix together:

1/2 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Dash salt

Add to 1 cup scalded milk in double boiler and stir constantly until thickened and smooth. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir a small amount of the thickened mixture to three beaten egg yolks and return to mixture. Continue to cook a little longer.

*

Add to cooked mixture:

Gelatin

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

(I would skip the vanilla and almond and add rum)

Cool the mixture.

Fold in one cup whipping cream, whipped. Place in a baked pie crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon. Place in refrigerator for several hours to chill.
