1 (3.4-ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1½ cups of eggnog
½ teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 prepared (pre-baked) 9-inch pie crust
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
ALCOHOL: You can add a splash of rum or bourbon to the pudding mixture. Just make sure you reduce the other liquid you are adding to the pie by equal amounts.
EGGNOG: You can use homemade eggnog or fresh eggnog from the grocery store.
Be cautious using ultra-pasteurized eggnog as the milk enzymes may interfere with the thickening reaction when mixed with the pudding mix.
PIE CRUST: You can either use store-bought premade pie crust or try our homemade pie crust recipe for your eggnog custard pie.
WHIPPED CREAM: You can make your own homemade whipped cream or add a spoonful of Cool Whip on top.
HOW TO MAKE EGGNOG PIE
STEP ONE: In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix, eggnog, and nutmeg until the eggnog mixture begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).
STEP TWO: In a separate bowl (or in a stand mixer), whisk the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
