This super easy recipe uses real eggnog and sets up like a no-bake cheesecake. This is a must-have for your Christmas dessert table!
When I start seeing eggnog in the store I know it’s Christmastime! I buy it up as soon as it hits the shelf! I love to put it in my coffee, heat it up like hot cocoa, drink it with a splash of spiced rum or just have it straight up. I love it!
This weekend I decided to make a pie with it! This recipe makes two pies but you can easily reduce it by half to just make one. The pie freezes beautifully so you might as well go ahead and make two! Throw that other one in the freezer and pull it out to take to the neighborhood Christmas party or serve on New Year’s.
Eggnog Pie
makes two pies
2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding mix (4-serving size)
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 quart (4 cups) eggnog
1 12-oz. tub cool whip, thawed and divided
2 9-inch graham cracker crusts
Add pudding mix and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Pour in eggnog and mix on low speed of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Fold in half of the cool whip until well combined. Pour mixture evenly into graham cracker crusts. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or until set. Serve with remaining cool whip. Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg if desired.

I also absolutely love egg nog and can't wait to try you pie recipe, thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove eggnog and thought your recipe sounded delicious. Just made four pies, two for friends and two for our Boy Scout dinner. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI made this on Sunday and it was sooooo good! I love eggnog thanks for the recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll make this as a "spoonable " in a 9x13 dish and share with my fellow teachers for a carry-in!
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth is cool whip? We don't have anything named this in Australia - what can I use as a substitute?
ReplyDeleteUse Heavy Whipping Cream and blend until fluffy.
DeleteYou can use heavy whipping cream
DeleteJust blend until it's fluffy
Cool Whip is a brand of imitation whipped cream. You buy it frozen and let it thaw to use it.
DeleteIf I use real whipping cream, will it hold up if I freeze it?
ReplyDeleteNot as well as whipped topping because whipped topping has a stabilizer in it
DeleteReally good! And so easy!
ReplyDeleteI found this just in time for a department luncheon at work. Sounds delish, and I can't wait to share it with my co-workers.
ReplyDeleteHow long will this last in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteThis will last a week in the fridge. At least :)
DeleteNot at our house.
DeleteI made this for Xmas and it didn't settle, do u have any suggestions? Couldn't work without cool whip/whipped cream?
ReplyDeleteI've found that if I "whip" cool whip in a recipe it can separate. If you used a beater to mix the cool whip into the pudding this may have happened. If you want to try again, follow the recipe and just "fold" the cool whip in, don't beat it in.
DeleteCould it work without* also couldn't post with my account so had to post as anonymous. Thanks chantell
ReplyDeleteCan I use eggnog that has had Rum added?
ReplyDeleteI am making this today...using 12 Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crusts. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to experience this and then experiment. I used to make a no-bake cheesecake. Thinking now of making a n-b eggnog cheesecake. Will get back on that. Thanks for posting this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI want to confirm before I try. There is no sugar in the recipe, isn't there?
ReplyDeleteThere is no added sugar (it is sweetened from the pudding mixes).
DeleteI don't usually use the cool whip I beat up some 35% real whipping cream in a carton and just beat it with electric mixer and I add a 10g packet of "Dr.Oetker",which is a stabilizer for whipping cream.Since I'm not using the cool whip,how much real whipping cream will I use as the cool whip is a 12oz tub?Hope this helps others.Waiting for reply on the measurement I need for the correct amount of cream to equal the amount of the cool whip.Thanks
ReplyDeleteI want to know how much 35% Liquid whipping cream,(it comes in a carton in canada)should I need to whip up to equal or replace the 12oz tub of cool whip.look forward to hearing from you with the answer.Thank You !!!
DeleteI'm sorry but I don't have any idea how to work that out.
Delete1 1/2 cup of whipping cream.
DeleteDid a test run of this pie over the weekend, and one of my taste testers described it as a "game changer." Absolutely yummy! I'm adding it to my holiday repertoire. Thank you!
