This easy no bake Eggnog Pie has won a permanent place on our Thanksgiving and Christmas dessert menus. It’s light, fluffy and a family favorite!
You know, one of the best things about the holiday season has got to be eggnog! I remember drinking it from my special Santa mug when I was a kid, which seemed to make it taste even better.
Now, my kids go crazy for this stuff, and one of their favorite ways to enjoy it is by indulging in a tasty slice of eggnog pie. It’s cool, creamy, and you only need 5 ingredients to make it!
- Eggnog
- Pie crust — graham cracker or frozen pie crust
- Jello Instant Pudding Mix
- Cool Whip or non dairy topping
- Nutmeg
I started serving this no bake pie for dessert at Thanksgiving and Christmas a few years ago, and my oldest daughter has now made it her specialty.
We love this holiday pie so much that my daughter always makes two at one time. This way, we can enjoy some for dessert on the actual holiday and have more the next day.
My daughter likes to add a little bit more whipped topping as a garnish and some additional nutmeg over the filling — yum!
The pie is light and fluffy, so it’s the perfect ending to a heavy meal, and no one can say they don’t have room for dessert! It also goes great with a cup of coffee, Instant Pot Hot Chocolate or eggnog — double yum!

Hi there! I was wondering if this could be frozen and enjoyed at a later date?? Wasn’t sure with the whipped topping how it would react in the freezer
You can freeze the pie. Let me know how you like it!
Hi just found this recipe of yours wonderful for an Australian hot Christmas. I’ve had to convert measurements for making so I am hoping I have got it right. Also we don’t have cool whip? So I assumed it was whipped real cream. It is in the refrigerator as we speak. Fingers crossed that it turns out for this evening. Cheers
Let me know how it goes. Hope you enjoy the pie!
Is there a way to use dairy free nog? We love the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze nog and wondering if there is a way to use that here instead of regular eggnog?
Dairy free eggnog is fine, as long as it’s as thick as regular eggnog. If not, you may have to add less for the right consistency.
This is an old comment but I just came to share that I made this recipe with chobani oat milk eggnog and it’s been in the fridge 5 hours and hasn’t set so I think it’s not going to set. I haven’t tried other vegan options but it might need to simmer/reduce down a little before using in this recipe.
I think that eggnog pie recipi said 13.4 ounce box of pudding. Boxes are in grams . Transfer this to grams and it is way too much pudding mix. Had to add a lot more eggnog to compensate.
It is one 3.4 oz box of instant pudding mix. A small box.
For new cooks, the recipe should state that the pie crust should be pre-baked before filling with the ingredients.
Thanks for the reminder. I need to update it!
This is my favorite holiday pie recipe! It’s delicious and unique!
Thank you so much! So glad you like the pie!
I used approximately 2-1/4 cups for the 5.1oz box. It was way too much filling & I was happy to have the extra. The filling turned out perfectly & setup great in 4hrs.
This is officially my favorite pie ever! So Eggnog flavorful, creamy but light.
Thank You Dee for this permanent addition to my recipe box!

Thank you Dee.
How much nog did you use for 5 1oz?
Just slightly more than for the smaller size. You can also use the same amount as the recipe calls for — It just depends on how thick you like the filling.
I bought the larger package of pudding (5.1oz). Can I use that to make a fuller pie (adding extra Eggnog of course), or should I stick with measuring out 3.4 oz.?
I have used the larger one before, and it works — just makes a little more filling.
Can this pie be frozen ?
Yes, you can freeze the pie.
