Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 9" pie crust
For the filling:
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup milk room temperature
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
For garnish:
- whipped cream from ½ cup heavy whipping cream + 1 tbsp sugar
- gingerbread men cookie pieces
- cinnamon
Instructions
- Bake the pie crust according to package instructions. Once baked, set aside to cool while making the filling. At this point, you should also preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Next, add the eggs, brown sugar, milk, molasses, melted butter, and vanilla to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. In a small separate bowl, stir the cornstarch, ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and nutmeg together, then pour them in with the other ingredients and stir to combine everything.
- Transfer mixture to the pie crust and place the pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until the middle is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, about 3-4 hours. If making in advance, transfer the pie to the refrigerator.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, gingerbread men, and ground cinnamon. Slice and enjoy!
