Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups egg nog cold
- 1 (3.4 oz) package Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
- 1 ¼ cup Cool Whip thawed
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Crust
- 1 Graham Cracker Pie crust
Instructions
- Mix pudding and egg nog: Add the cold egg nog to a medium sized mixing bowl and sprinkle the vanilla pudding mix on top. Whisk the pudding into the egg nog until it starts to thicken, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in Cool Whip and spices: Gently fold the Cool Whip, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon into the pudding mixture until just combined. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to maintain the fluffiness of the Cool Whip.
- Fill the crust: Scoop the combined mixture into the graham cracker pie crust and gently smooth it into an even layer for an attractive and uniform pie surface.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
- Serve: Slice and serve the pie chilled with extra Cool Whip, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of nutmeg as desired.
Notes
- This pie is also fantastic served frozen. To enjoy as a frozen treat, place the pie in the freezer for 4 hours instead of the fridge.
- Use full-fat or low-fat egg nog depending on preference, but full-fat will enhance creaminess and flavor.
- The graham cracker crust can be store-bought for convenience or homemade for a more personalized touch.
- Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before folding to ensure smooth incorporation.
- For extra festive garnish, consider adding a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
