Jamie Deen's Eggnog Custard Pie

Submitted by Nancy G.

"I watched Jamie Deen prepare this on Paula's Party and it looks delicious! Besides, cooking with liquor is one of my favorite things to do :) UPDATE: I made this yesterday and I really couldn't taste the rum at all so I think I would add a little more rum and a little less water next time."

this was pretty good. i'm not sure what i expected, but it didn't just blow my socks off. THAT BEING SAID, it is still really yummy and easy. i used 3/4 c water and instead of the 1/4 c rum i used 2 1/2 t rum flavoring. i could taste the "rum" quite well. besides, what would eggnog be without rum??

I cooked this for all my neighbors for xmas and it was a hit. I left out the rum and substituted water instead.
