Ingredients
- Eggnog: Be sure it's regular full fat eggnog, not fat-free, for the best results.
- Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix: You'll need a small box of instant pudding. Definitely instant, not the one that needs to be cooked!
- Frozen Whipped Topping: Cool Whip-style cream adds flavor, bulk, and creaminess to the eggnog pie. Be sure to use the regular kind, not light, or the pie won't firm up as well.
- Milk: Use whole milk for the best results.
- Nutmeg: Nutmeg is that classic eggnog flavor - add a little extra to the pie, and for dusting on top.
- Graham Cracker Pie Crust: You can buy a 9-inch pie crust, or make your own homemade graham cracker crust.
- To serve, add a little whipped cream or Cool Whip, plus a little ground nutmeg.

Fold in the Cool Whip: Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture.
Prep the pie: Pour the eggnog filling into the pie crust and spread it evenly to the edges.

Variations
- Try making this pie with a different type of crust for a whole new flavor. Why not try Oreo Cookie Crust, Homemade Pastry Pie Crust, or Oatmeal Pie Crust.
- If you're making this eggnog pie for grown-ups, try adding a shot of bourbon, whiskey, or Southern Comfort. Bailey's is great too!
- Stir a little vanilla into your whipped cream topping for even more flavor.
Recipe Tips
For best results, use full fat eggnog, milk, and whipped topping. Light ingredients may not firm up enough.
Make sure that your frozen whipped topping is thawed before folding it into the eggnog pie filling.
You'll need vanilla instant pudding mix. Make sure it's instant, not the one that needs to be cooked!
You don't want to beat the whipped topping into the eggnog mixture, instead you'll need to gently fold it in. Be gentle, but ensure that it's all well mixed in without streaks.
