Crust

Method

Crust

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Make crust

In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3

Form crust

Press the crust mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.

4

Bake crust

Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until set and lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely before filling.

Filling

5

Prepare filling base

In a mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

6

Add sugar

Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar and beat until fluffy and fully incorporated.

7

Add eggs

Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition.

8

Incorporate flavors

Slowly whisk in the eggnog, then add vanilla, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

9

Fill crust

Pour the filling mixture into the cooled crust, ensuring even distribution.

10

Bake filling

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggle-y. The edges should be set.

11

Cool before chilling

Remove from oven and let the pie cool on a rack to room temperature.

Chill and serve

12

Chill

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure a clean slice.

13

Make whipped topping

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

14

Finish and garnish

Spread or pipe whipped cream over the chilled pie and garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.
