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.

Molly says
This did NOT work with the measurements given. It curdled and looked gelatinous, resembling more of an eggnog rubber than pie. Somehow I must have done something wrong, but I’m not sure what. I ended up about to scrap the entire thing, but we just kept adding liquid to it. Not sure if it’ll set, but it’ll definitely be a hilarious memory one day.
Christi Johnstone says
Hmm, this is based on a decades old classic pudding pie, so the recipe is pretty standard and solid. Always double check your measurements, it sounds like you were low in liquid, because it’s pretty liquidy when it goes into the fridge, definitely not rubbery! Hopefully the end result was surprisingly delicious!
Natasha Elaine St Hilaire says
Can I use a regular Pillsbury pie crust with this?
Christi Johnstone says
Sure, you’ll just want to blind bake it since this is a no-bake pie filling. Let the crust cool before putting the filling in.
Julie says
I added half a block of cream cheese to the pie and it stepped it up a level. It was good already but the cream cheese just added something extra.
Julie says
Adele, I plan to make this and will be measuring a cup of the Cool Whip………it should be fine.
Adele says
Recipe calls for one cup cool whip. A tub of cool whip is 8 ounces and measured out to 2 cups? Which measure do I use 8 ounces in weight or one measuring cup?
Please advise me
Kathy says
Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Christi Johnstone says
I haven’t tried it, let us know how it goes if you do.
Meredith says
Made it for Thanksgiving and it was the first pie gone and fast! Delicious! I will be making the eggnog pie and cake all season long. Thank you! Everybody loved it.
Pauline says
Can I use Half and half instead of milk?
Christi Johnstone says
Sure, it’ll be nice and rich!
Cora says
