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.

Although my absolute favorite way to use eggnog is in baked goods. Some of my favorites are eggnog cake, these eggnog thumbprints, and this eggnog pie.

The holidays tend to get busy, so I am always looking for quick and easy recipes. This year I used our leftover eggnog in an easy no bake pie that got rave reviews.

Why This Works

This no bake eggnog pie is so easy to make in minutes. It's the perfect recipe to make when you want something sweet but don't feel like baking.

The layers come together quickly and create a light and fluffy pie that tastes like the holidays.

• Easy no bake pie recipe that can be made ahead of time.
• Great way to use up the leftover eggnog in your fridge.
• Perfect dessert for anyone who loves eggnog.
• Delicious recipe to share at holiday parties or gatherings.

Key Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this eggnog pie recipe. Just give yourself enough time to let it chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving it.

• Crust - You can buy a store bought crust or make a homemade Oreo cookie crust using Golden Oreos.
• Cheesecake Filling - A mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar creates a creamy no bake cheesecake filling.
• Cool Whip - Adds a fluffy texture to the pie layers. Feel free to make a few batches of this homemade whipped cream, if you prefer homemade instead.
• Vanilla Pudding - Make sure you buy a box of instant pudding for best results.
• Eggnog - Full fat is best because it gives it the best flavor and sets up the best. You can use any brand that you like.

BruCrew Tip: Add swirls of eggnog whipped cream to the top of the pie for even more eggnog flavor.

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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, eggnog muffins, 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.
• Can't find eggnog? Try making your own with this homemade eggnog recipe.
