This week I decided to focus the recipes I am sharing on flavors of the season, which ended up being more specifically egg nog and gingerbread. First up is an easy eggnog pie.
You can impress your guests with a beautiful seasonal flavored pie that really requires little work. This pie has just the right amount of eggnog flavor and is deliciously creamy paired with a crisp graham cracker crust.
Now I am not a fan of drinking eggnog, but I love the flavor. This pie is more of the way I love to enjoy eggnog.
