No-Bake Eggnog Cream Pie is a creamy dessert made with a smooth eggnog filling, set in a buttery graham cracker crust, and perfect for holiday celebrations without the need for baking.
Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter, then pulse until the mixture is well combined. Press the mixture firmly into a 10-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat softened cream cheese for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg, mixing until well combined.
Lower the mixer speed and gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Add the eggnog slowly, ensuring everything is mixed evenly.
Switch to a whisk attachment. Add the cheesecake and vanilla pudding mixes to the filling. Whisk on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or whisk. Alternatively, clean the stand mixer bowl and use it to whip the cream.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture. Be gentle to maintain a light and airy texture.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
After taking the pie out of the freezer, dust with cinnamon and nutmeg for garnish. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
Press the crust firmly: To create a firm crust, be sure to press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the pan so it holds together well when slicing.
Adjust the spice: If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, add more cinnamon and nutmeg to the filling.
Whip the cream to stiff peaks: Make sure the heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks for a light and airy filling.
Fun Variations:
Gingersnap crust: Use gingersnaps instead of graham crackers for a spiced flavor that pairs nicely with the eggnog.
Festive adult twist: Add a tablespoon of bourbon or dark rum to the filling for a grown-up version of the pie.
Extra garnish: Top the pie with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a beautiful finishing touch.
