Hot Buttered Rum Pie

Hot Buttered Rum Pie

Healthy Fact of the Day

Hot Buttered Rum Pie is a rich, indulgent dessert high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat. To make it slightly healthier, consider using reduced-fat graham crackers for the crust and light cream cheese mixed with Greek yogurt for part of the filling. You could reduce the sugar content by using a natural sweetener alternative for part of the brown sugar. The spices like cinnamon and nutmeg contain antioxidants and may help regulate blood sugar. However, this pie should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular dessert. Consider serving smaller portions and pairing with fresh berries for added nutrients and fiber. Most of the alcohol cooks out during baking, but the rum flavor remains.

Ingredients

 

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

For the filling:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp rum extract
  • Additional nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Press into 9-inch pie pan.

  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Let cool.

  4. Beat softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  6. Mix in rum, vanilla, and spices.

  7. Fold in heavy cream until well combined.

  8. Pour filling into cooled crust.

  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes until center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Domino’s Is Offering 50% Off Any Pizza — But Only Through Sunday

The Strange Science of Why We Crave What We Crave

Research on sleep and food cravings consistently finds that a single night of insufficient sleep significantly increases cravings for high-calorie, high-sugar foods the following day — driven by elevated ghrelin, reduced leptin, and increased activation of reward-related brain regions in response to food cues. The practical implication is direct: adequate sleep is one of the most effective and most underutilized tools for managing food cravings, making it a nutritional intervention as much as a sleep hygiene one.

Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta

Using lean ground beef—90/10 or higher—keeps the protein content high while moderating the saturated fat in this indulgent-tasting pasta. Building the cream sauce in the same skillet as the beef means you need less cream than a separate sauce would require, since the browned beef drippings add depth and body that carry the flavor further with a lighter hand.
