Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
12whole graham crackers
3 tablespoonspacked light brown sugar
1/2cup (1 stick)buttermelted
Eggnog Pudding Pie
1box (3.4 oz)instant vanilla pudding
1½cupseggnog
8ouncesCool Whipthawed
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch pie plate by spraying it lightly with cooking spray. Set aside. * You can also skip the crust steps below and just use a store-bought ready crust graham cracker crust instead of homemade. It's the 6 oz size graham cracker crust (not the 2 extra servings one).
Make The Graham Cracker Crust
Add the graham crackers and light brown sugar into a food processor. Process on high until it's in fine crumbs.
12 whole graham crackers, 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
With the processor running on low speed, slowly add the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are well coated.
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Pour the crumbs into the prepared pie crust and very firmly press them into the bottom and up the sides. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Make The Eggnog Pudding Pie
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and eggnog until it's thickened and combined. Let it sit for about 3 minutes so it can thicken even more.
Add in the Cool Whip and stir with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly combined.
8 ounces Cool Whip
Spread the creamy filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth out the top. Cover the pie with a lid, or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours ahead of time is preferred.
Serve the pie chilled from the fridge. Garnish with a touch of ground nutmeg and/or additional whipped cream if wanted.
Notes
Don't Want To Use Cool Whip? : You will need to add 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream + 1/2 cup powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Start at low speed and increase to high speed as it thickens. When the recipe calls for the Cool Whip, add all of the whipped cream.Make It Ahead of Time : Make the pie up to 24 hours ahead of time! Cover the pie with plastic wrap, a lid, or the plastic lid that comes with the store-bought crust and place it in the fridge up to 24 hours before you're serving it. I actually love this pie with at least 12+ hours of refrigeration time before I serve it.Butter : I prefer using salted butter but unsalted butter can be used as well if that's what you prefer baking with.
