Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 c butter, cold, cubed
10 Tbsp water, ice cold (give or take a few tablespoons)
FOR THE FILLING:
3/4 c heavy cream, cold
1 c eggnog
1/2 c milk
1 box vanilla instant pudding
chocolate shavings for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir the whole wheat pastry flour, all purpose flour, sugar and salt together until combined.
  • 2. Stir in cold butter until it's the size of peas. With the mixer on low, stream in ice cold water by the tablespoons until dough starts coming together.
  • 3. It should be moist but not sticky. If you grab a few pieces and squeeze them in your hand they should stick together without leaving a residue on your hands.
  • 4. Form dough into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Recipe will make 2 pie crusts.
  • 5. When ready to make the pie crust, remove one disk of dough from the refrigerator and sit out for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to roll.
  • 6. Preheat oven to 400. Flour board and rolling pin and roll out dough to a large circle.
  • 7. Place in pie pan, cut off extra dough and scallop the top edges of the crust. Prick bottom of crust with a fork.
  • 8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crust looks dry and top edges are barely golden. Set aside to cool.
  • 9. For the filling, whip cream until soft peaks form. Set in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • 10. Whisk eggnog, milk and instant vanilla pudding together until smooth.
  • 11. Let it thicken 3-5 minutes. Fold half the whipped cream into eggnog pudding and pour into cooled pie shell.
  • 12. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 plus hours. Make sure the whipped cream makes it back into the fridge too.
  • 13. When ready to serve, pipe whipped cream around edge of pie and top with chocolate shavings. Serve.
