You’ll need:

  • 1 (3.4-ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1½ cups of eggnog
  • ½ teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
  • 1 prepared (pre-baked) 9-inch pie crust

PRO TIP:

Make sure you are using instant pudding rather than the stovetop version.

Substitutions And Additions

ALCOHOL: You can add a splash of rum or bourbon to the pudding mixture. Just make sure you reduce the other liquid you are adding to the pie by equal amounts.

EGGNOG: You can use homemade eggnog or fresh eggnog from the grocery store.

Be cautious using ultra-pasteurized eggnog as the milk enzymes may interfere with the thickening reaction when mixed with the pudding mix.

PIE CRUST: You can either use store-bought premade pie crust or try our homemade pie crust recipe for your eggnog custard pie.

WHIPPED CREAM: You can make your own homemade whipped cream or add a spoonful of Cool Whip on top.

How To Make Eggnog Pie

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure you are using a pie crust that has already been baked, either by buying a pre-baked crust from the store or baking it yourself ahead of time.

STEP ONE: In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix, eggnog, and nutmeg until the eggnog mixture begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).

STEP TWO: In a separate bowl (or in a stand mixer), whisk the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.

STEP THREE: Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog pudding mixture.

STEP FOUR: Transfer pie filling into the prepared baked pie crust.

PRO TIP:

If you are using a store-bought pie shell in a foil pie plate, we’d recommend setting it in a glass pie plate for added stability.

STEP FIVE: Chill for at least three hours to allow the pie to firm up.

PRO TIP:

As hard as it is to be patient, make sure you give this pie time to chill in the fridge before you serve it.

STEP SIX: Serve with additional whipped cream and sprinkle a little bit of fresh nutmeg on top of the pie.
