Eggnog Chess Pie

It seems fittin’ to use up that last bit of holiday eggnog in a good old southern chess pie. ‘Nog and bananas go together like mac and cheese, so partake of pie while toasting toes in front of a cozy fire as you settle into the New Year.

Ingredients

  • 7 cups banana-nut, granola-type cereal

  • 1 stick butter, softened

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1⅔ cups sugar

  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal

  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • ½ cup eggnog

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 ripe banana

  • Whipped cream, optional

  • Grated nutmeg, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. To make the crust, roughly crush cereal in a food processor. Combine with butter by hand. Place into a 10-inch pie plate. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.

  3. For the filling, use a mixer to blend eggs, sugar and cornmeal together. Add butter, eggnog, vinegar, vanilla and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  4. Thinly slice the banana over bottom of crust. Pour the egg mixture over banana. Bake about 40 minutes, until filling is set. Chill. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream and dusting of nutmeg!

    • LOL... you should be my neighbors! They get to be my guinea pigs... just grab yourself some nog before it's gone if you don't have any and give it a try. It's hard to beat a good ole chess pie... unless, of course, you use egg nog and add bananas!
