Ingredients

Scale

Filling

3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
1½ cups eggnog
½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Crust

1 prepared pre-baked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions

Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, eggnog, and freshly ground nutmeg until the mixture starts to thicken, which should take about 5 minutes.
Whip the cream: In a separate bowl or using a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, indicating it’s perfectly whipped and ready to incorporate.
Combine whipped cream and pudding: Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog pudding mixture to maintain the airy texture and create a smooth filling.
Fill the pie crust: Pour the combined filling into the prepared pre-baked 9-inch pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set and firm up properly.
Serve: Slice and serve chilled, optionally topped with additional whipped cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg for extra flavor and garnish.

Notes

Make sure the pie crust is fully pre-baked to avoid sogginess when filling with the no-bake pudding mixture.
Use fresh, high-quality eggnog for the best flavor impact.
For extra garnish, add a cinnamon stick or a dusting of ground cinnamon along with the nutmeg.
You can prepare the pie up to a day in advance and keep chilled in the refrigerator.
Whipping the cream to stiff peaks is crucial for the pie’s light, fluffy texture.
