For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
For the filling:
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold eggnog (full-fat recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract (optional)
- 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade), thawed
For garnish:

Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold eggnog until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Add ground nutmeg and rum extract (if using), and whisk to combine.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the pie:
- Pour the eggnog filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Serve:
- Before serving, garnish the pie with additional whipped topping and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat eggnog to achieve a rich and creamy texture.
- The rum extract adds a traditional eggnog flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- This pie can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
