Ingredients
9 inch pie crust, baked and cooled
4 T. cornstarch
1/2 c. white sugar
4 T. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. egg nog (alcohol free)
3/4 c. heavy whipping cream
1 t. vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Topping:
2 T. butter, melted
4 T. granulated sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
Directions
In a medium sized heavy saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and sugar; whisk in the 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; stir in vanilla.
Pour mixture into pie crust; spread evenly.
Preheat oven broiler to High.
To make the topping, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Drizzle pie 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, keeping a close eye on it. It doesn't take very long.
Let pie cool to room temperature; chill several hours before serving.
