Regardless of why I tried it, I'm very glad I did. Eggnog Pumpkin Pie is creamy and sweet with a delicious balance of spices. The eggnog flavor is there, but in a perfect balance with the pumpkin; complimentary and enhancing without being overpowering. It's not so heavy or rich that you feel as though you need a nap after having a slice, but rich enough that you know you've had a nice dessert. It's a special, seasonal finish to a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal.
I expected to like it...but I didn't expect to love it (I do!), and I definitely didn't expect to decide that this is my new favorite pumpkin pie (I did!). It's that good.
Eggnog Pumpkin Pie
PrintIngredients:
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 and 1/4 cups commercial eggnog
2/3 cup sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 deep dish pie crust, frozen or homemade
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together everything but the pie crust until smooth and well blended. Pour mixture into crust.
Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until filling puffs up around the edges and center is set but not puffed. Cool pie completely on wire rack. Refrigerate until ready to serve or up to one day. Garnish with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Oooh, I love this twist on the traditional pumpkin pie! It's different, but not crazy different.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I just talked about pumpkin pie this week and she and I agreed we didn't like it because it was missing something. She said she thinks it is missing nutmeg. Well, nutmeg is the main spice ingredient in eggnog….who knew…you just fixed our dilemma! I can't wait to make this pie!
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot to mention…I love your centerpiece…so festive! :)
DeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI have never had pumpkin pie with eggnog. It truly sounds wonderful. I will have to try it this year. I also love your log centerpiece. I checked it out. You are so creative. It truly is the best fall centerpiece I have never seen. I love the log with the candles.
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,

DeleteI have never thought of having pumpkin as a desert food but this pie looks and sounds delicious. I don't know that we can get pumpkin in cans here. the pie crust recipe is definitely one I would like to try. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique blend of flavors and I love them both. Definitely a must try soon of this show-stopper pie! Carrie, A Mother's Shadow
ReplyDeleteWow, this could become my favorite pumpkin pie. I love egg nog!

I love pumpkin pie and Richard loves eggnog which I have always found to be too strong and heavy but in pie? Definitely going to try this out.
ReplyDeleteOh, this pie sounds delicious! I am going out to the kitchen to make one...thanks for sharing the recipe.

This pie looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI bet the eggnog does give it a rich and creamy taste! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Oooh! I am not a fan of how thick eggnog is, but I like the taste. Putting it in baked goods is about the only way I like it - and I have never thought to add it to pumpkin pie! Seems this might need to happen soon! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of holiday flavors!
ReplyDeleteThis looks dangerous ;) I'll take two...all for myself. Thanks for posting!

Egg nog isn't my favorite either but it sounds amazing in pumpkin pie!!! This is such a great recipe - a winning combination!
ReplyDeleteThis looks outstanding. I love eggnog. I will have to try this. Linking up for the first time this week.
ReplyDeleteJoy,
ReplyDeleteI am stopping by to Stumble and pin your pumpkin pie and great log center piece. I truly hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Blessings,

Sounds fantastic, and easy, too! That's my kind of pie! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteI have never had these two flavors together. I must try this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious twist on pumpkin pie! I'm definitely going to have to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteThe perfect pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could substitute sweet potato for the pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteJudy, I imagine you could- just like a regular sweet potato pie....I just don’t know the exact amounts you’d use. I’ve never tried it, but doesn’t it sound good? If I were to try it, I think I would get a sweet potato pie recipe, and then substitute eggnog for the liquid called for in that recipe. I think that’s where I would start, anyway!! If you try it, please be sure to let me know how it turns out! :) Happy Thanksgiving! ♥
DeleteHi, Joy! I LOVE eggnog, and I adore pumpkin pie. I never would have thought to combine the two...this is genius! Pinned and tweeted...I want a slice now. :)
