Eggnog Pie No Bake Recipe
This divine no-bake eggnog pie is the perfect holiday dessert that tastes just like a cup of creamy eggnog in pie form. The velvety pie is a blend of delicious eggnog flavor, silky pudding, and spices, and with no baking required, it’s super easy to make.
Eggnog Pie No Bake Ingredients
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.
