Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base
- 1 prepared pie crust
Pie Filling
- 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla instant pudding mix (NOT stovetop)
- 1½ cups eggnog
- 2 cups whipped topping, like Cool Whip (thawed; light topping may not set)
- Dash of nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggnog and vanilla instant pudding mix. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Nutmeg: Sprinkle in a dash of nutmeg and mix lightly to evenly distribute the spice for a warm, festive flavor.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until the filling is fluffy and pale yellow in color, taking care not to deflate it.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the creamy filling into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, refrigerate overnight or until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
Notes
- This easy no-bake Eggnog Pie is a holiday favorite, perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert menus.
- Use full-fat whipped topping rather than light varieties to ensure the pie sets properly.
- The pie can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated until serving, making it a convenient festive dessert option.
- For a stronger nutmeg flavor, sprinkle additional nutmeg on top before serving if desired.
