This no-bake Easy Eggnog Pie is an eggnog lover’s dream dessert! It’s creamy texture and great eggnog flavor is a favorite in my home. If you need a quick and easy dessert this holiday season for your Thanksgiving dessert table or holiday Christmas party, I highly suggest this pie!
My husband loves eggnog. Or “nog” as he usually refers to it as. I am pretty sure it’s why I can get him to do the grocery shopping easily in late fall, because he’s stalking the dairy department for eggnog.
No Bake Eggnog Pie
Bringing eggnog flavor to recipes is a favorite of mine during the holidays. While I was making a chocolate pie this weekend, it dawned on me that replacing the milk with eggnog in a vanilla pie would result in a super easy eggnog pie.
I’m by no means the first person to think of this, which is kind of how food blogging goes. You think of something and think, oh wow, great idea!
And then if you go search Google or Pinterest, you are sure to instantly find out that 398,083 people have had the same great idea. And the idea was probably in a kindergarten class cookbook in like 1978. And one of those magazine like little holiday cookbooks at the grocery checkout, most likely in 1986.
I had like six months where I would Google every single recipe idea I had, thinking every last one had to be completely original.
Yeah, that whole re-inventing the wheel thing, um, not so easy. It was super stressful and no fun whatsoever. Everyone has pretty much made everything. And that’s okay. I eventually figured that sometimes you just have to make and share the recipes that you love (or, that your husband loves) and leave it at that. Eggnog pie anyone?
A warning, this is rich. Well, I mean, it’s made with eggnog, one of our favorite holiday indulgences.
Pie Crust
Oh, also – one thing to pay attention to – the pre-made graham cracker pie crust my eggnog store searching husband picked up, was a bigger pie crust – “two extra slices” or something like that.
While that’s great and all, pie crusts are kind of a standard to some extent so a jumbo one can mess with your recipes. I was a little short on filling for this, and sort of pushed more of it towards the outer edge. Just something to pay attention to if you are buying a ready made crust.

Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
Do you make the pudding according to the directions and then add the additional milk and egg nog or do you forego the box directions and go with the recipe? I am making this for the first time and want to make sure I do it right.
You’ll beat the pudding mix with the ingredients listed in this recipe, according to the recipe directions provided. Basically add your pudding then throw away the box and ignore what it says on it.
I made a gingersnap pie crust, it was delicious!
I have never liked graham cracker crust. I am going to make regular pie crust, I am sure this will still be delicious!
I just found this recipe and will make it as soon as I can find eggnog in the stores in the coming weeks! Could I use all eggnog and not any regular milk?? What do you think?
If you have a thinner eggnog it shouldn’t be an issue, but if your eggnog is thick, then I do recommend thinning it down with some milk.
Made this pie this morning. Followed the directions, but I did add two good splashes of spiced rum! We couldn’t wait till after dinner, on this New Year’s Eve, and we just shared a piece of pie… Oh, YUM! Thank you for a new recipe to add to my holiday yummies!
I make the eggnog cake from this site every year since I found it and everyone loves it! I want to make this pie but only have almond milk and cashew milk on hand. Has anyone ever tried it and can speak to if it will affect how it sets?
We don’t use either as we have nut allergies in the house. Are the as thick as eggnog? That would be my main concern. If they are runnier, maybe cut back a tiny bit on the amount of milk.
I wonder if I could substitute the whipped topping with whipped cream …
Rum extract gives it a little bit of a spice also
Looks good and sounds easy to make going to make it tomorrow
I Love eggnog cake my Sister in Germany makes it when we go to visit , but I never heard of eggnog pie
It looks so delicious and easy that I can’t wait to try it
