Sugar Cream Pie - Eggnog is not a good sub for cream (Link)

Sugar Cream Pie - Eggnog is not a good sub for cream
For the curious: Link to the working recipe.

A recipe experiment that failed.

Last week, warming up to Christmas Day, VWife was really jonesing a sugar cream pie. Problem was, she had no heavy cream, and no desire to scrounge the change cup I keep in Manland, nor the desire to get off her butt to go to the store to get any.

Looking through the fridge, she spotted the quart of eggnog she bought, and thought it would be a noble experiment. It wasn't. The eggnog was loaded with sugar from the get-go, plus had a good amount of nutmeg. The resulting pie was nearly inedible, and caused me to spike my blood sugar just from being within 5 feet.

Oh well.
