• Bake in preheated oven until the custard is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand 1 minute. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in eggnog until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in gelatin until dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. , Stir in extracts; fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate until firm. If desired, dust pie with cinnamon or nutmeg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate; flute edge. Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake until edge is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a large saucepan, cook the eggnog, milk and pudding mix over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Stir in rum and nutmeg. Pour pudding mixture into crust. Chill until set. Garnish with whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie tin with nonstick spray.
• Add the gingersnap cookies and pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter, then mix until well incorporated.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared pie tin, then use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or drinking glass to press evenly against the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
• Make the filling: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan and whisk very well to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in the eggnog, whisking between additions, to prevent lumps. Whisk in the egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens to the consistency of pudding and starts to boil, 4-6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, brandy, and rum, if using, until smooth.
• Pour the custard over the cooled crust and cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely set.
• Just before serving, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes.) Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until medium peaks form and the cream holds its shape, 1-2 minutes more; do not over whip.
• Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pie. Top with caramel syrup, gingersnap cookie crumbs, toasted pecan pieces, and nutmeg.
• Enjoy!
