Ingredients

15oz. pumpkin puree

1 cup eggnog

2 farm fresh eggs

½ cup sugar

1 ¾ tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon 

½ tsp. ginger

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. clove

1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter, very cold and cut into cubes

4-8 tbsp cold water


Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

In a food processor, combine all purpose flour, ¼ tsp. salt, and ½ cup of unsalted butter that is very cold. Once combined, move to a large mixing bowl and add in cold water one tablespoon at a time. You might not need all of the cold water listed in the ingredients. Use as much cold water as you need to make the dough pliable and easy to roll out. Roll out the dough and place it in your 9 inch pie pan. Keep the pie pan in the refrigerator until your filling is ready.

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggnog, pumpkin puree, eggs, 1 ½ tsp. salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove. Whisk until smooth. Remove pie crust from the refrigerator and add filling to the pie crust.

Bake your pie for 50-60 minutes. When it is completely baked, a toothpick should be inserted into the center of the pie and come out clean.
