Ingredients
Scale
Pie Base
- 1 prepared pie crust
Filling
- 1 (3.4 oz) box vanilla instant pudding mix (NOT stovetop)
- 1 ½ cups eggnog
- 2 cups whipped topping, like Cool Whip (thawed) (light topping may not set)
- Dash of nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix Pudding and Eggnog: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggnog and vanilla instant pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it thickens considerably.
- Add Nutmeg: Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg into the pudding mixture and stir gently to incorporate the warm spice flavor evenly.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the mixture becomes fluffy and turns a pale yellow color, taking care not to deflate the whipped topping.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the prepared filling evenly into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, you can refrigerate overnight or until ready to serve.
Notes
- This no-bake eggnog pie is a holiday staple that combines lightness and festive flavor, making it a favorite at family gatherings.
- Use full-fat whipped topping rather than light versions to ensure the pie sets properly.
- Refrigeration time can be extended to overnight, enhancing firmness and flavor melding.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle a little additional nutmeg or cinnamon on top before serving.
