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!

Could I make ahead and freeze this?
Yes, you can freeze them ahead of time.
I found this recipe last holiday season and it was a BIG hit! I love eggnog so this particular recipe was right up my alley. It’s also so easy and simple to make, which is a bonus. Even those who aren’t huge eggnog fans within my family (mainly because of the thickness), love this pie. Thanks so much for sharing this tasty recipe!
I’m so glad to hear this, Tracee. Thank you for the sweet compliment!
How much nutmeg should be used…”dash” is a lose term
Can’t wait to try this….definitely sounds good
Maybe about an eighth of a teaspoon or more if you feel it needs extra flavor.
Followed the recipe and it turned out great! Used Kemps Golden Eggnog & a premade gramcracker crust, it was super rich & creamy. Huge hit for Thanksgiving!
2 cups of cool whip was way too much. I only used 1 the second time I made it and it turned out way better. Was it a typo?
Nope. It is 2 cups from an 8-oz container. You don’t even use the full 8 ounces.
Yum! I thought I had vanilla pudding but it turned out to be sugar free butterscotch.🙄 I figured the two flavors would compliment each other and they do. Gave it a more rummy taste and glad the cool whip was there to neutralize everything beautifully. Thanks for an easy delicious recipe!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing!
Curious what size pie crust?
We use a 9-inch pie crust.
