This easy no bake Eggnog Pie has won a permanent place on our Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert menus. It’s light, fluffy and a family favorite!
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!

Just an FYI tip for those that love crème brulee like I do, after it sets just sprinkle a little sugar on top and blow-torch it some, so yummy.
I used this recipe for our Thanksgiving desert today and it was delish! Thanks so much!😊
What size graham cracker crust?
Either a 9 inch or 10 inch crust works.
Help recipe says 2 cups which a cup is 8 ozs but in your comments you said to use two cups slightly short of 8 ozs someone help before I try to make this tomorrow I’m not good at math clearly
Use 2 cups of whipped topping. This will be slightly less than an 8 oz TUB of Cool Whip, which is the standard size container.
Cups is a volume, ounces is a weight, and that is why baking is tricky! Lol. We are taught 1 cup is 8oz, but whipped cream is VERY light and voluminous, so measuring the volume and the weight will be different. Hope this helped.
I absolutely loved this! I used a shortbread crust ,phenomenal!
Is the crust regular or deep dish. It appears like deep dish in the picture
Made this two days ago so its been 48 hours chilling in the refrigerator. Wow…. Came out beautiful and taste so good. Going to make two today and freeze them for Thanksgiving.
Thank you soooooo much for this!
Is this a deep dish pie crust or regular? It looks like deep dish in the picture.
I aways use regular pie crusts for this pie.
Can you make this with non-dairy eggnog?
I have never tried this, but some people have and reported it doesn’t work well. I think one person had good results, but used extra pudding mix to thicken up the filling.
Hello! Yes my wife is vegan and I found some Silk Brand non-dairy egg nog (almond milk) at my local convenience store. I used this with Instant vanilla pudding and it worked fabulously! It set just as dairy milk does
I want to try this!!! Question – can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool-Whip?
You can, but the filling may not be as fluffy or last as long without the stabilizing agents in a whipped topping.
