Pumpkin Eggnog Pie

HUGE SIDE NOTE...I used a DEEP dish pie plate and a homemade piecrust and used ALL of the pumpkin 'batter'. It fit perfectly into the pie plate-right to within a 1/2" of the rim. After the suggested 50 minutes was up I checked it with the knife as instructed. It came out NO WHERE NEAR clean. I thought I forgot to turn on my oven! I had to bake this pie for an ADDITIONAL 50 minutes! It just would NOT set and I was panicking! I should have read the other reviews where the cooks mentioned using leftover batter for a tartlet or a ramekin dessert. Here's the GOOD news...the pie tasted pretty freakin' good! Even my homemade crust stood up to my...um, error? I have never heard of a pie taking 2 hours to bake (considering the 15 minutes of 'pre-baking'). I will try this one again but I will use 2 regular pie pans.

This was very good, it was not so very different from regular pumpkin, but more creamy. It got some "wows" at Thanksgiving.

I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner. At first I was worried that people who didn't like eggnog would notice the eggnog and not like it. I did use 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice and after I tasted the initial batter I thought it was the right amount. I recommend the tasting of the batter because one can easily adjust the seasonings if they think the eggnog is too overpowering. I did follow a reviewer's tip and used 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup white, since I LOVE brown sugar in pumpkin pies! I did like that it didn't puff up a lot and then fall like other pumpkin pies, resulting in a very even pie. I baked for at least 5 min. longer just to make sure the filling was set. The end result was a very balanced pumpkin pie flavor with an extra creamy texture. Everyone enjoyed the pie at our table! I baked the extra bit of batter in a custard cup (with a water bath) and just sampled it now. It really was good and I will make it again. Thanks Divinemom5 for posting! Roxygirl

Personally, I thought this was a great pie. Eggnog is my favorite holiday craving, and when added to a pumpkin pie (which is definetly NOT my favorite flavor) it makes it taste more like a chiffon than regular pumpkin pie. My older sister agreed with me. The reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that my other sister is a pumpkin purist and only gave me a 3 rating. So it looks like I'll be making two pumpkin pies for the holidays!
