You love the drink, now try the pie! This no bake eggnog pie is a favorite for the holidays, with festive flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and Christmas.
A Dessert That Tastes Like Christmas
Pies are always a must around the holidays, to bring to a party or have at your own table. Not only do I find this Egg Nog Pie delicious, but my family, who doesn’t like egg nog, loves the pie! They love the creamy texture and holiday tasting flavor. It is the perfect rich cream pie that just tastes like Christmas. Because it is no-bake, it’s so easy to make. The pie is rich, cool, and creamy, but with the warm seasonings, you’ll feel like you are sitting cozy around a fire.
Egg Nog Pie Ingredients
This recipe is so simple! Here are the ingredients:
- Heavy whipping cream – this adds the perfect, creamy texture.
- Egg nog – the star of the show, choose your favorite brand.
- Instant vanilla pudding mix – the pudding creates the set, silky texture.
- Pumpkin pie spice – the perfect blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice for a warm, cozy flavor.
- Graham cracker crust – buy premade in the baking aisle or make your own.
Homemade Graham Cracker Pie Crust
You can choose to make your own graham cracker crust. We have a great recipe that shows you how to do this! Making your own graham cracker crust adds a few extra steps, but it tastes really buttery and great. Also, making your own crust makes this not a “no-bake” recipe, although it is still very easy and low-maintenance.
Steps for Making Egg Nog Pie
Step 1: Beat heavy whipping cream in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside for later.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, mix egg nog, pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice until the pudding is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
Step 3: Gently fold in whipped cream.
Step 4: Pour/spoon mixture into your graham cracker crust and smooth over with a rubber spatula.
Step 5: Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, but overnight is best.
Tips and Variations
For a thicker pie, use a smaller pie crust. You can use an 8″ pie crust. It will make the filling thicker making for fewer, but thicker slices. I like the bigger pie crust because the filling it so rich, I think less is more.
Use actual heavy whipping cream, instant pudding (not the cook and serve), not fat-free or low-fat egg nog.
If you don’t want to use heavy whipping cream for your creamy filling, you can fold in an 8 oz. tub of thawed Cool Whip, instead. Because this recipe is plenty sweet from the egg nog and instant pudding mix, I prefer to use the heavy whipping cream with no sugar added. This dessert is rich as-is and I believe the Cool Whip makes it a touch too sweet.
If you aren’t a big fan of the egg nog taste you can do half egg nog half whole milk. I have made it this way and honestly it cuts the richness down.

Hey Ms. Erica,
I am going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving Day 2024. I will make it exactly as is with one exception. I am going to add 1-2 tablespoons of Marsala Wine to the mixture. I’m hoping the Marsala will add a little taste of the Italian dessert, Zabaione to your recipe. I used to make Zabaione tableside at a fancy restaurant within a hotel in the Northeast. I would pour it over berries for the table I was serving. I’m anxious to see how it will turn out with your recipe for Eggnog Pie. I’ve made Italian eggnog with friends in the past by adding a shot of Marsala Wine to store-bought eggnog, and it was delicious. I’ll let you know how this addition to your recipe turns out.
Yes, please let me know how it turns out! It sounds like a great addition. Thanks for your comment!
I haven’t tried it, but I KNOW it’s going to be so tasty. I might forget to comment so here it is. (I’ve never heard of egg nog pie) Thank you for sharing.
It is SO good, especially if you love egg nog! Let us know how you like it!
5/5
Thank you!
