Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold eggnog
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for topping)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling base: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups of cold eggnog until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes to set further.
Prepare the whipped topping: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Combine the filling: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped topping into the thickened eggnog mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
Assemble the pie: Pour the creamy eggnog filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pie is completely firm.
Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie evenly with ground nutmeg. Slice and serve cold.
