    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!

      Can this filling be used in a 9x13. I want to make a grahm cracker/pecan crust in a 9x13 and then add this filling. Thank you for any insight you can provide

        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.5 stars

      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.5 stars

      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?

        I use Jell-O instant vanilla pudding, and you can find it in most stores. Just look for instant on the box.

      • Mandy says

        October 25, 2018 at 11:20 am

        Dumb question, but do you follow the directions on the instant pudding to make it and then add eggnog or what?

      • Dee says

        October 25, 2018 at 7:24 pm

        Hi Mandy -- Just follow the recipe directions and video, and that's it! 🙂

      Instead of using a baked pie shell, could I use a graham she'll or maybe an oreo

        November 19, 2016 at 12:07 pm

        If it's a pre-baked shell, it should be fine.

      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?

        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.

      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.

        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.

      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

        November 14, 2016 at 10:29 pm

        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!

      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! 🙂

      Ooh this egg nog pie looks delicious. I think I am addicted to anything with nutmeg in it, but especially creamy pies! Yummy. Sammie http://www.feastingisfun.com

      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! 🙂

      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.
