📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Gingersnap Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together gingersnap crumbs and butter in a bowl. Transfer to a standard 9-inch pie plate, pressing evenly into bottom and up sides. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Make the Eggnog Custard: Whisk together sugar, nutmeg, eggs, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk in eggnog, bourbon (if desired), and vanilla. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps. Transfer to prepared crust. Bake until custard is puffed but still wobbly in the center, 45 to ⏱️ 50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack then chill at least ⏱️ 6 hours and up to overnight.
