How to Make Pumpkin Eggnog Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the crust:
  3. Grind 1 ½ cups gingersnap cookies into coarse crumbs using a food processor.
  4. Mix in ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  5. Press mixture into a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
  7. Prepare the filling:
  8. Separate 3 large eggs; set aside the whites.
  9. Beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large egg yolks, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, ½ cup eggnog, and ½ cup heavy cream.
  11. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  12. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  13. Cover the edges of the pie dish with foil or a pie crust protector to prevent burning.
  14. Bake for 90 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  15. Cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature. Do not refrigerate – the pie will continue to set as it cools.
  16. Once cooled, top with vanilla meringue (optional).
  17. Serve and enjoy!
