9 inch pie crust, baked and cooled

4 Tablespoons cornstarch

3/4 cup white sugar

4 Tablespoons butter, melted

1 1/2 cups egg nog (alcohol free)

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Topping:

2 Tablespoons butter, melted

4 Tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

 

• In a medium sized heavy saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and sugar.
• Whisk in the 4 Tablespoons melted butter, egg nog, and whipping cream.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is the consistency of a thick pudding.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Preheat oven broiler to high.
• In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
• Pour mixture into pie crust and spread evenly.
• Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.
• Place under the broiler until butter and sugar begins to bubble all over the surface--keep a close eye because it doesn't take long.
• Let pie cool to room temperature, then chill several hours before serving.
