Shortbread Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- In a food processor, blitz together the butter, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until a dough is created.

Eggnog Filling
- Whisk gelatin into the water and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, and eggnog. Cook over a low heat until the solids dissolve.

- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until light and fluffy.
- Fold whipped cream into the cooled eggnog mixture. Pour the mixture into the crust and let set until firm.
