Egg Nog Custard Pie

I love egg nog. I could seriously have it every single day, it is so good. And in custard form- yummmmmm nom nom nom... This was a recipe I made for New Year's Eve last year & I surely will make it again this year for the holidays. Go ahead, add the rum! I can't have it (crohns) & I get Lactaid Brand egg nog (tastes the same, I promise!) but it IS the holiday season- be merry & indulge!
