- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 ½ cups chilled full-fat eggnog
- 4 ounces (½ tub) whipped topping, thawed and divided
Crust
- 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust, homemade or store-bought
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg in a large bowl until combined.
- Add eggnog: Pour in the chilled eggnog and whisk continuously until the pudding mixture thickens and starts to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold in half of the whipped topping (about 1½ cups) into the pudding mixture to create a smooth, fluffy filling.
- Fill crust: Pour the pudding mixture into the graham cracker crust and spread it evenly into a smooth layer.
- Chill pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least three hours to allow the filling to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, pipe or dollop the remaining whipped topping over the top of the pie for decoration and added creaminess. Enjoy your no-bake eggnog pie!
Notes
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a cookie crumb crust for variation.
- For extra festive flair, sprinkle additional ground nutmeg or cinnamon on top before serving.
- Make sure to use full-fat eggnog for the richest flavor and best texture.
- The pie can be prepared a day in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer, garnish with a little grated nutmeg or even crushed peppermint for a holiday twist.
