No Bake Eggnog Pie
Eggnog. You either love it or you hate it. There are very few people I’ve encountered that like it “a little.” Unlike gingerbread or peppermint…eggnog is eggnog. Kind of no matter where you put it.
I fall in the “LOVE IT!” category for eggnog. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl. I remember getting a carton of it as soon as it was available in the store and enjoying little glasses of it with my Dad throughout the holiday. Which is why it astonishes me that (1) Jordan doesn’t really like it (I guess she’s her father’s daughter) and (2) that I’ve never made dessert with it before.
Eggnog pie is an easy recipe with only 4 ingredients; it’s perfect for Christmas or even Thanksgiving!
Ingredients in Eggnog Cream Pie
This pie has only 4 ingredients: pie crust, instant pudding mix, egg nog, and whipped cream. That’s IT! It comes together in no time at all, and if you wanted to you could make it a no-bake pie by using an Oreo or Shortbread Crust instead.
I made my own whipped cream from heavy whipping cream, but you can also use Cool Whip if you want. No judgements here! 99% of the time I do use Cool Whip. The pudding mix and the whipped cream make the pie super light. It’s like eating air. Which has no calories. So this pie has no calories! (Right?)
How to make Eggnog Pie
- Make your crust – cool it if using a pastry pie crust.
- Make the freshly whipped cream.
- Whisk pudding mix and eggnog, then fold in whipped cream.
- Place in pie crust and chill.
- Top the pie with more whipped cream before serving.
Expert Tips
- Use only dairy-based eggnog for best results. Instant pudding needs the proteins in milk to set up properly.
- For a no bake pie, use a graham cracker, shortbread, or Oreo crust.
FAQs
Only freeze this pie if you make it with Cool Whip in place of fresh whipped cream.
This will only keep about 24 hours so it’s best to make it the same day you plan to serve it.
Eggnog Pie
Ingredients
- 1 all butter pie crust or frozen or from a pack of two, or my homemade crust recipe
- 1 cup (237ml) cold heavy whipping cream (or 8 ounces/226g Cool Whip)
- 1 tablespoon (7g) powdered sugar
- 1 3.4 ounce box INSTANT vanilla pudding
- 1 ⅔ cups (397ml) eggnog
- Ground nutmeg optional (for garnish)
Instructions
- If using a refrigerated crust, unroll and place in a 9″ pie plate. Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with the tines of a fork. Bake crust according to package directions. Cool before filling. (You can also use this crust, pressed into a 9″ pan, poked with the tines of a fork and baked at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.)
- If making fresh whipped cream, place cold whipping cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
- Place pudding mix and eggnog in a large bowl. Stir until no lumps remain. Let set for 5 minutes. Fold in 1 cup of the prepared whipped cream (or Cool Whip). Pour into cooled pie crust. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before finishing.
- Before serving, top with remaining whipped cream or Cool Whip and grated nutmeg (optional). Store in refrigerator.

Recipe Notes
- You can use sugar-free pudding. You’ll want to use 1.5 ounce size for sugar-free or 3.4-3.9 ounces for regular instant.
- Be sure to reserve some of the freshly whipped cream or cool whip for the top of the pie – you’re only adding 1 cup to the pudding.
- Use only dairy-based eggnog or the pudding won’t set up.

I absolutely LOVE eggnog… this looks delish!
Made this pie (and the crust) today. The crust was my first successful pie crust yet. And I’ve made a number of them this year. So quick and easy. And tasty. The pie was super tasty too. We made ours with homemade eggnog that had booze in it. The pie didn’t set up right but that may have been more about my impatience than anything else. I’m making it again next weekend and I’ll be sure to let it set in the fridge for a nice long time. So so good!
Quick question: Â It says to just stir the pudding with the eggnog until no lumps…so you don’t whip it up like pudding just substituting eggnog for milk?
I used the eggnog instead of the milk – it means just to whisk the pudding mix, sorry for that confusion!
Did you use the 1oz pkg or 1.5 oz pkg of instant pudding?
I *think* it’s the 1.5 ounce if you’re using sugar free, or 3-4 ounce if you’re using regular instant. The directions on the box call for 2 cups milk on the boxes I use. I think different brands might be different sizes, so check the pudding instructions on the box just to be sure.
Jus a quick question – is there a reason you used sugar free pudding mix? I hate using anything with artificial sweetener in it and since we are using eggnog this is definitely not a low fat recipe – just wondering if this was a taste preference or if the sugar free was a necessity for texture, etc.?? Thanks!
You can use a regular mix, for sure! Enjoy!
This is not thick enough! Â Maybe a large box of poudding or add gelatin or cook the pudding to a thick consistency. Â Anyway the pie, as is, has a soupy finish after setting up over night. Â So try the recommendations above!
Looks delish! I have leftover eggnog (what?!) and want to make this today. Question, what size box of vanilla pudding?Â
I love how light and fluffy it looks – like fresh snow! Pinned!
Thank you for the pin!
I am so behind, ugh!
What exciting news, Dorothy! I can’t wait to see all the things you share!
This pie, oh my. Looks amazing!
Thanks Stephanie!
Congrats on the super cool gig with Marie Callender! I don’t think you’re the only one that makes more desserts than there is time to blog about. I was just going through my pictures and I still have projects from the summer I just haven’t gotten around to posting. One day:)
Anywho, I LOVE eggnog and this sounds so very good and easy! I have everything but the pudding otherwise I’d be making it tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing at Whatcha Whipped Up Wednesday
Thank you! :):)
