We always buy at least 1 carton of eggnog for Christmas. There is just something I love about drinking this thick holiday beverage during the holiday season.

How to Make a No Bake Eggnog Pie
This eggnog cheesecake pie comes together in minutes. It's a great recipe when you are short on time or you do not feel like baking.
- Crust - Mix together Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter and press in a 9 inch pie plate. Let it chill in the fridge while you make the filling layers.
- Cheesecake - Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Fold in whipped topping to give it a light texture. Spread in the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pudding - Whisk together the instant pudding and eggnog until it dissolves and thickens. Fold in Cool Whip and then spread on top of the cheesecake layer.
- Chill - Refrigerate the pie for a few hours. Top with extra Cool Whip and mini cookies before serving.
Storage Recommendations
Cover the no bake eggnog pie tightly and refrigerate for 3-4 days. The crust may start to get soggy after that, but it will still taste great.
I do NOT recommend freezing this pie because the pudding layer may get watery after thawing which will also make the crust soggy.
Have leftover eggnog? Use it to make a batch of eggnog donuts, some eggnog scones, or a pan of eggnog sugar cookie bars.
Tips and Tricks
- Place the frozen Cool Whip in the fridge ahead of time. This way it will be thawed and ready to go when you want to make this pie.
- Using a light or fat free whipped topping or eggnog may affect how the pie filling layers set up. Full fat is recommended.
- Try using a graham cracker pie crust instead of the cookie crust.
- Use flavored eggnog to give the no bake pie a unique and delicious flavor.
- Whisk ½ teaspoon rum extract into the eggnog pudding to boost the flavor.
- Want a spiked eggnog pie for the adults? Whisk a few teaspoons of bourbon, whiskey, or rum into the eggnog before making pudding.
- Give the no bake pie time to set up in the refrigerator before cutting it into slices.

I love the recipe. I used French vanilla pudding and I added a half teaspoon of rum to the eggnog mixture.

Can this be made ahead of time and frozen??

Because of the pudding and milk layers I do not recommend freezing this particular pie.
