Christmas in Denver

Wow Steph your Christmas Dinner sounded and looked Incredible, but those Kolaches look downright professional! We had a good Christmas as well and even though the Snow didn't stick around we had a white Christmas Morning for the Girls. Can't wait for you guys to see the new Landry Home it's great - so much space and the backyard will be awesome in the summer. We tried a couple of things and most were a success (homemade twinkies not so much). On Christmas Day we made the Pioneer Women's Braised Short Ribs with Creamy Goat Cheese PolentaRoasted Artichokes with Garlic, and Eggnog Pie.

FILLING

3/4 cup cold heavy cream
1 cup egg nog
1/2 cup milk
1 box instant vanilla pudding
Directions:
When ready to make the pie crust, remove one disk of dough from refrigerator and sit out for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to roll. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Flour board and rolling pin and roll out dough to large circle. Place in pie pan, cut off extra dough and scallop the top edges of crust. Prick bottom of crust with fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crust looks dry and top edges are barely golden. Set aside to cool.

For the filling: whip cream until stiff peaks form. Set in refrigerator until ready to use. Whisk egg nog, milk and instant vanilla pudding together until smooth. Let it thicken 3-5 minutes. Fold half the whipped cream into egg nog pudding and pour into cooled pie shell. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2+ hours. Make sure whipped cream makes it back into the fridge too.

I wish I would have had a 2nd slice of pie. Got Back to Tulsa and like I thought they DO NOT SELL Eggnog after Christmas ;-( until next year I suppose.
