Eggnog Pie<br />
You could make this on National Eggnog Day <strong>December</strong> 24th!<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin<br />
1/4 cup cold water<br />
1 cup milk<br />
1/2 cup white sugar<br />
2 eggs, lightly beaten<br />
1/4 cup rum<br />
1 cup whipping cream<br />
1/4 pinch white sugar<br />
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked or graham cracker pie crust<br />
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />
DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; set<br />
aside to soften. Combine milk and 1/2 cup sugar in a small glass bowl.<br />
Microwave for 3 minutes or until milk begins to boil. In a steady stream,<br />
pour hot milk into beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Cook custard in the<br />
microwave, whisking after each minute, until it thickens slightly, about<br />
2 minutes. Stir in softened gelatin and mix until melted. Stir in rum. Let<br />
filling cool to room temperature. (If you refrigerate it, stir occasionally to<br />
prevent gelatin from setting too soon.) In a medium bowl, whip cream<br />
until soft peaks form; beat in 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside 1/2 cup of whipped<br />
cream for garnish; keep refrigerated. Fold remaining whipped cream<br />
into eggnog mixture. Pour filling into pie crust and refrigerate 4 hours<br />
or overnight. Garnish with reserved whipped cream and a dusting of<br />
nutmeg. Source: allrecipes.com<br />
