Easy Eggnog Pie Recipe

Eggnog holds a special place in the hearts of our family. My Grandma was famous for her homemade boiled custard filled with orange zest. She made it every year and I couldn’t help but, pay homage to her with my recipe for eggnog poke cake. Her Christmas parties were the event of the year, and we couldn’t wait to attend, no one ever missed. So, each Christmas I continually look for more and more ways to incorporate eggnog into our desserts. I haven’t received a single complaint to date. How to make simple Eggnog Pie Recipe:

  • Crust – Crushed vanilla sandwich cookie crumbs i.e. Vienna fingers or Golden Oreo cookies, granulated sugar and melted butter.
  • Filling – Prepared eggnog using your favorite brand, Dream Whip (dry whipped topping mix found on the baking aisle, a box contains 2 envelopes, use both, instant vanilla pudding, pure vanilla or rum extract.
  • Topping – Frozen whipped topping, thawed. Cool Whip or a similar store brand will work.
  • Garnish – Ground nutmeg for dusting the top. You could also use ground cinnamon.

How to Make the Best Eggnog Pie Recipe

In my kitchen, no skimpy pies are allowed so, the filling for this eggnog pie is generous. I have a recipe for chocolate eggnog pie, you should checkout, too.

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Eggnog Pie: Prepared eggnog, Dream Whip (dry whipped topping mix), instant vanilla pudding, whipped topping, vanilla extract or rum extract and ground nutmeg for garnishing. For the crust you’ll need crushed vanilla sandwich cookies i.e. Vienna Fingers or Golden Oreo cookies, granulated sugar and melted butter.
  • Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A stand mixer or a hand mixer, medium size bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a spatula or spoon and 9 OR 10 inch deep dish pie dish.
  • What is Dream Whip? Dream Whip has been around for decades. It’s a dry whipped topping mix that makes the filling of this pie truly dreamy. It’s important as it also serves to stabilize the filling. It can be found on the baking aisle of most grocery stores including places like Walmart and Target.
  • What eggnog is best for making Eggnog Pie? The flavor of this pie will only be as good as the quality of the eggnog you choose to use. It’s best to use a quality prepared eggnog. Don’t skimp.
  • If you prefer to use homemade whipped cream for the top, you can. Since fresh cream isn’t as stable as whipped topping, prepare it the day you plan on serving.
  • As I said above, the filling for this pie is generous and needs to be made in a 9 or 10 inch deep dish pie dish. In a pinch, this could also be made in an 9 x 9 inch pan.
  • My preference is to use crushed Vienna Fingers for the crust, but any similar vanilla sandwich cookie will work. You could also use gingersnaps for a flavor twist.
  • Store Eggnog Pie chilled in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
