Eggnog Cream Pie - Week 52

Whipped Cream with the rich taste of Egg Nog makes this a delicious dessert.

I wanted to finish the year off big with a grand gesture of decorative crusts, maybe even a painted design on the crust. But instead, I finished it up with a simple creamy treat.

Ingredients:

1 bottom pie crust, prebaked

1 (4.6 oz) pkg non-instant vanilla pudding

¼ t. nutmeg

1-1/2 cups eggnog

2 cups heavy cream

1 pinch nutmeg

Directions:

In medium saucepan, combine pudding mix, ¼ t. nutmeg, and eggnog. Mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat.  

Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. 

In a medium bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Remove the cold pudding from the refrigerator, and beat until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into baked pie shell. Sprinkle additional nutmeg over the top. Refrigerate overnight.

During the holidays, I typically have a strong desire to

do some grand project when simple is just perfectly fine. 

What simple projects do you enjoy during the holidays?
