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. You can see how we make it in the video.

I started serving this pie for dessert at Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert 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 or eggnog — double yum!

    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.

    • Dee says

      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.

  3. Denise says

    This is so easy and so delicious! I made it last year a couple of times and it was a huge hit! I plan on making it for Christmas dinner this year.

    • Dee says

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

  6. Lisette says

    Can this filling be used in a 9×13. I want to make a grahm cracker/pecan crust in a 9×13 and then add this filling. Thank you for any insight you can provide

    • Dee says

      You might want to double up on the filling if you want it to be nice and fluffy, but it would definitely work in that kind of pan.

    So we are celebrating Thanksgiving this coming Sunday and I am going to make this pie. My family (except hubs) loves Eggnog and to have it in a pie is the best. This is a simple and quick dessert which I love. I have pin this on Pinterest Board.

    Oh My!! My husband LOVED IT, he told me this pie is now a Thanksgiving tradition. I used a graham cracker pie crust, and sprinkled a little nutmeg on the finished pie. My in-laws were convinced it was a store bought pie, I told them to try recipes on Pinterest. I will be making this pie again, very soon.

    • Dee says

      Thank you SO much for the sweet comment! It’s one of our favorite holiday pies, and I’m so glad you liked it! Pinterest is awesome. 🙂

  12. Cerra says

    Is instant vanilla pudding mix a special thing? Are they all instant or some need to be cooked? Just curious before I head out to grab some if I need to be looking for a special kind?

  15. Maria says

    Hi I recently tried making this and was super excited but the filling turned out really hard and gummy versus light and fluffy…any suggestions?

    • Dee says

      Hmm. Was the whipped topping thawed? Did you use the small Jello? We’ve been making this for a long time and recently made it again and have never had any problems. I’d love to brainstorm with you because it really is a tasty pie.

  16. Brianne says

    Do you think that this recipe would work using Silk Nog instead of regular egg nog? I prefer the taste and the reduced calories and fat, however I don’t know if it would cause the pudding to thicken as regular egg nog would.

    • Dee says

      That’s what I would be concerned about, but you could definitely try and see what happens. It might be fine, just not as thick.

  17. Pam says

    Thoughts on adding a touch of spiced rum, or any other alcohol that people mix with eggnog? (I’ve never had an eggnog “adult” version and thought it’s something different to add to the holiday party

    • Dee says

      You would just need to make sure that the mixture doesn’t get runny with the extra liquid, but I would definitely give it a try!

  18. Anna Johnson says

    I haven't had eggnog pie, I didn't know about it. My family loves eggnog so I'm sure this will be a hit! Thank you! 🙂

  20. Dee M says

    The Cool Whip gives it a fluffy texture, but I don't think it adds any sweetness. I think homemade whipped cream would be wonderful. My daughter likes to make this on her own, and it's easier for her to use the Cool Whip. Let me know how yours turns out! 🙂

  21. Jan L says

    I wish I could get Eggnog in July…This pie looks so good and we have a Pie Contest on the 4th of July. Does the Cool Whip make it sweeter? I'm thinking if I could make my own whipped topping and regulate the sugar. Do you think that would work or would it break down.

    I only recently tried eggnog for the first time and I'm 27! I'm now addicted to the stuff, this pie looks divine! Visiting from Treasure Box Tuesday. I co-host Sweet and Savoury Sunday and would love for you to stop by and share this and other recipes with us. Have a great day!

      Hi Dee, I just came across your recipe for eggnog pie. It looked and sounded amazing. I went ahead and made it last night but I just realized I might have measured wrong. The recipe says 2 cups of whipped topping. So I made it with 16oz. Of whipped topping. Should I have used actual cups and not oz?

        • Denise Frank says

          Cool Whip defies logic and science. If you measure 2 cups, you will have about 1/2-2/3 cup left. For the pie to have the right consistency, you need to measure exactly 2 cups.

        Joan- 8 oz of heavy whipping cream should make 2 cups of whipped cream. Sounds like you made twice as much as you needed. I don’t used store bought whipped topping so I make my own also ;o)
