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.Ā 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.

having a Christmas ornament exchange party. I am going to try this with mini pies. (like mini cupcake sized) I was toying with the idea of something lemon- I will have lots of chocolate- but this is LOTS more holiday to me than lemon! Love it thanks!
Debbie says
Have you ever used a regular pie crust instead of a graham cracker crust?
If a regular piecrust can be used, would it be baked prior to filling it or bake it with the pie filling?
Thank you!
Debbie says
Oops! I just re-read the instructions- it is a no-bake pie!!! So if I used a pastry pie crust, it would of course be baked prior to filling & chilling!
Thanks!
Marjorie says
a little rum added for adults would really make the pie
Elizabeth says
I’m so making this!! I’m with you in that I love the flavor of eggnog But not how thick it is. My solution is mix half eggnog, half low fat milk. Add fresh ground nutmeg. Refrigerate overnight. It is Soooo delicious!!!
Debbie S. says
oh this recipe is definitely for me. Like your husband, I love love eggnog – most especially Bordens in the refrigerator carton. Does your husband like this pie? Is it a strong enough eggnog-flavor? I would want it to! Thanks for giving this to us less-imaginative cooks out here.
Christi says
Thanks Debbie! It’s a very strong eggnog flavor! My husband loved this pie, I think he might have had the last slice tonight actually! š
Debbie says
Thank you! Good to know the egg nog flavor is good & strong. That’s what I love!
Amanda says
You could drive yourself crazy with too much google! This pie is a great idea, looks yummy!!!
Christina @ Bake with Christina says
I’m so glad that eggnog is finally starting to be in season! And I love this pie recipe and how easy it is! Pinned!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
What? Google a recipe? LOL, never. š Love this pie!
Christi says
Dorothy, right? š
amanda @ fake ginger says
I’m with you on the eggnog. Something about it being so thick and cold… ehhh, not a fan. I’m all about treats with eggnog in them though. I want to make this immediately!
Christi says
Amanda, I’m glad it’s not just me. I seriously have to ration my husband’s eggnog consumption, it’s dangerously close to needing a 12 step program, and I almost gag a little watching. The flavor is awesome, but can’t get over the texture! Hope you aren’t totally freezing by the way!
kathleen @ yummy crumble says
This looks great! I have been doing the same thing to myself. I think up a recipe to try out in the kitchen and sure enough…after googleing the idea, I see that it’s been done and looks way prettier than I think I could ever make it. It’s nice to know that it really doesn’t matter and that I should just make and share what I love.
