Ingredients
Scale
Pie 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 instant pudding mix on top. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until it starts to thicken, which usually 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. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to maintain the fluffiness of the Cool Whip.
- Assemble the Pie: Scoop the combined mixture into the graham cracker pie crust and smooth it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly. For a frozen variation, place the pie in the freezer for 4 hours instead.
- Serve: Slice the pie and serve with additional Cool Whip, whipped cream, or a light sprinkle of nutmeg for garnish.
Notes
- This pie works beautifully as a frozen dessert—freeze it for 4 hours instead of refrigerating for a refreshing cold treat.
- Use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience or substitute with a homemade one if preferred.
- For a non-alcoholic version, make sure to use an alcohol-free egg nog.
- Whisking the pudding mixture well is key to achieving the perfect consistency before folding in the Cool Whip.
