    You know, one of the best things about the holiday season has got to be eggnog! I remember drinking it from my special Santa mug when I was a kid, which seemed to make it taste even better.

    Now, my kids go crazy for this stuff, and one of their favorite ways to enjoy it is by indulging in a tasty slice of eggnog pie. It's cool, creamy, and you only need 5 ingredients to make it!

    • Eggnog
    • Pie crust -- graham cracker or frozen pie crust
    • Jello Instant Pudding Mix
    • Cool Whip or non dairy topping
    • Nutmeg

    I started serving this no bake pie for dessert at Thanksgiving and Christmas a few years ago, and my oldest daughter has now made it her specialty.

    We love this holiday pie so much that my daughter always makes two at one time. This way, we can enjoy some for dessert on the actual holiday and have more the next day.

    My daughter likes to add a little bit more whipped topping as a garnish and some additional nutmeg over the filling -- yum!

    The pie is light and fluffy, so it's the perfect ending to a heavy meal, and no one can say they don't have room for dessert! It also goes great with a cup of coffee, Instant Pot Hot Chocolate or eggnog -- double yum!

      I used approximately 2-1/4 cups for the 5.1oz box. It was way too much filling & I was happy to have the extra. The filling turned out perfectly & setup great in 4hrs.

      This is officially my favorite pie ever! So Eggnog flavorful, creamy but light.
      Thank You Dee for this permanent addition to my recipe box!

        Just slightly more than for the smaller size. You can also use the same amount as the recipe calls for -- It just depends on how thick you like the filling.

      I bought the larger package of pudding (5.1oz). Can I use that to make a fuller pie (adding extra Eggnog of course), or should I stick with measuring out 3.4 oz.?

        I have used the larger one before, and it works -- just makes a little more filling.

      This was delicious! However the pie didn’t set for me and was soupy. I have a peanut butter pie that is similar ingredients and I usually just use my kitchen aid mixer when adding the cool whip and don’t bother to “fold” and it comes out set. But this only has eggnog and pudding so that could be why I need to fold it in rather than mix? Going to make this again for Christmas so fingers crossed that folding the whipped cream in makes it set more!5 stars

        Hi Becky. Eggnog pie should be fluffy. Did you let it chill in the fridge? Overnight chilling is best if you have time. Did you use Instant pudding mix? Was the cool whip thawed? Just trying to brainstorm ideas so that it's nice and fluffy next time. Hope this helps!

        Hi! Not sure how to reply to your comment directly, but will post here. I did use instant pudding and also refrigerated overnight. The cool whip was mostly thawed (there was maybe a couple tbsp that were not as thawed) but I'll make sure it's 100% thawed next time. I am guessing that mixing it rather than folding it in made it get soupy..5 stars

      • Dee says

        December 21, 2021 at 5:44 pm

        It was probably the mixing then. We always fold in the cool whip, and it sets up in the fridge. 🙂

      Should this be made with Graham cracker crust or pre-made pastry... or any other?

        December 19, 2021 at 10:23 pm

        We always use pre-made pie crust, but I think graham cracker would be fine.

      I have tried a few egg nog pie recipes and this was my favorite because you can taste the egg nog. In the others, especially the ones you bake, you can't really taste it, so what is the point of an egg nog pie that tastes like custard? Easy, delicious and egg nog fans (or moms of egg nog lovers) always want the recipe.5 stars

      Deeee! This looks Dee~licious😉 I'm vegan (10 years) SO I'm going veganize it by using almond eggnog, specifically Califia Farms! Luckily some of Jello brand instant pudding happens to accidentally vegan!! As for the whipped topping I will be using SO Delicious coco whip! It has a bit of a coconut taste but nothing to overwhelming and its consistancy is that of coolwhip! Can't wait to try this bad boy! Mmmm! I can almost taste it now 😋 I'll return to let you know how it comes out with these substitutions!

        This was amazing! I made a few other changes along with those substitutions! I decided to make half of the recipe, and may have used a little more putting mix than I should have, it turned out great though! I made a super simple graham cracker With just some cinnamon graham crackers and a few tablespoons of almond eggnog! I also decided to put it in a springform pan! Wow. SO good! Super thick and super creamy, yet at the same time it didn’t feel too heavy, Like a lot of desserts tend to! Great recipe! Definitely will make it again!

      I made this with sugar free pudding and sugar free cool whip. It was a little soft, but still held its shape. SO GOOD!! I also made a chocolate version because my husband is crazy and doesn’t like egg nog. I used sugar free chocolate pudding, sugar free cool whip, and chocolate almond milk. This one was much softer and fell apart, lol! It still tasted great, but the healthier ingredients don’t seem to set the right way. Still absolutely worth making it though!!!

      Whenever I cut into the pie it doesn't come out nice and thick like yours. I make sure to mix the pudding and eggnog long enough so its thick.

        Oh, how frustrating! Are you using light topping? That doesn't work as well. Also, you can try letting it thicken up as long as possible. We usually make eggnog pies the night before we serve them.

        You should be able to unless it's a lot thinner than regular eggnog. It might just take longer to set up.

      Is this recipe calling for 1/2 cup of egg nog or 1 cup as well as a 1/2 cup?

        January 08, 2018 at 9:33 pm

        It's one cup plus one half of a cup total, or 1 1/2 cups. 🙂
