Eggnog Pie

This recipe is taken from the 1979 Milk Calendar. A punch bowl brimming with eggnog is a traditional way to welcome friends at Christmas time. We kept the milk, the spices and the eggs but then we worked a little Christmas magic and presto!...Eggnog Pie.

Preparation

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand until softened. Heat milk, 1/3 cup (80 mL) sugar and salt in saucepan; add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add a little of the hot mixture to the beaten egg yolks, then return to saucepan and cook for 2 min. Chill until slightly thickened.

Beat egg whites until frothy and gradually beat in (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp / 100 mL) sugar until stiff and shiny. Fold into chilled custard, along with flavourings. Pour into prepared crust, sprinkle with nutmeg and chill until set.

For a festive touch, garnish with whipped cream, shaved chocolate and sliced red and green cherries, if desired.
