Notes
Transforming this Creamy Eggnog Pie into a gluten-free delight is surprisingly simple and does not compromise its delectable essence. The key alteration lies in the pie crust. Opt for a gluten-free pie crust, readily available at most grocery stores, or make your own with a blend of gluten-free flours. These crusts maintain the buttery, flaky texture we all love, ensuring that everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions, can indulge in the holiday cheer this pie brings.
