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.
I made this with Fresh egg nog from a local dairy. I also used the French vanilla pudding mix. It was amazing
Definitely only use 1 package of pudding, unless you double all the other ingredients. Had to add more eggnog and milk, it was so thick I could hardly stir it!
It’s actually meant to be thick. At least in this house we aren’t fans of runny pies. This should have more of a cheesecake texture than a runnier pudding pie.
Can you use all egg nog instead of the1/3 cup of milk. Tasted like vanilla pudding. I couldn’t really taste the egg nog. It’s so thick it set up instantly
I look forward to making it for Thanksgiving. I will let you know 😉
This recipe sounds yummy!! I’m wondering about using cooled cooked pudding or making homemade pudding instead of using instant. Anyone have thoughts on/ experience with using instant pudding? Thank you!
Thank you for getting back to me. I have a screenshot of it. I don’t know where I saw it. Don’t know how to show you the screenshot.
Did you use one box of pudding or two?
I have found your recipe in two different places. And one place has one package of pudding and then the other two packages of pudding. I am hoping the two packages of pudding is the correct one. That was the recipe I saw first.
Curious where else you found the recipe? And yes, use two as called for.
I love your recipes. You make it so easy.
You and Merry Christmas.
Delicious. I used Girl Scout shortbread cookies for my crust. So good!
