Eggnog Pie

Eggnog: You either love it or you hate it. There are very few people I’ve encountered that like it “a little.” Unlike gingerbread or peppermint…eggnog is eggnog. Kind of no matter where you put it. I fall in the “LOVE IT!” category for eggnog. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. I remember getting a carton of it as soon as it was available in the store and enjoying little glasses of it with my Dad throughout the holiday, which is why I love making Eggnog Cookies and this Eggnog Pie Recipe!

Adding eggnog to a pudding pie in place of milk is pure genius – it makes a fluffy sweet and creamy pie recipe that us true eggnog lovers will, well, love! This recipe has just 4 ingredients and you can make it with a baked pie crust OR make it completely no bake. It’s the perfect pie recipe for the holiday season.

Ingredient Notes

This pie has only 4 ingredients: pie crust, instant pudding mix, egg nog, and whipped cream. That’s IT! It comes together in no time at all, and if you wanted to you could make it a no-bake pie by using a graham cracker pie crust, Oreo or Shortbread Crust instead.

I made my own whipped cream from heavy whipping cream, but you can also use Cool Whip if you want. No judgements here! 99% of the time I do use Cool Whip. The pudding mix and the whipped cream make the pie super light. It’s like eating air. Which has no calories. So this pie has no calories! (Right?)

When it comes to pudding mix, I used vanilla pudding mix but you can also use cheesecake flavor. Just make sure to use INSTANT pudding mix, not cooked.

How to make No Bake Eggnog Cream Pie

1. Make your crust first – cool it if using a pastry pie crust.
2. Make the freshly whipped cream with heavy cream.
3. Whisk your pudding mix with the eggnog and let it soft set then be careful to fold in the whipped cream – do not stir or mix, you don’t want to break the cream.
4. Place mixture in the pie crust then chill. Top with more whipped cream before serving. I like to dust it with ground cinnamon or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
