Eggnog ice cream pie is a cool and creamy, no bake holiday dessert your family will love! It's an easy make ahead recipe for your Christmas celebrations.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pudding mix, eggnog, and nutmeg, whisking for about two minutes until mixture is thick. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer), whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until combined.
Fold the whipped cream mixture into the eggnog and pudding mixture gently, until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
Fill the pie crust with the prepared filling (see notes below if you have additional filling). Transfer pie to the freezer and allow to freeze for at least 4-6 hours (preferably overnight), until frozen.
When ready to serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, allowing for easier cutting and serving. If desired, top with additional whipped cream prior to serving.
Notes
This makes enough filling to fill a 9-oz, 10-inch crust (with a little bit of leftover filling most likely). I like to pile the filling in my 10-inch crust as high as I can, and put the extra filling in a freezer-safe container and freeze it as ice cream. Alternatively, you could use two 6-oz, 9-inch graham cracker crusts and divide the filling between the two. The filling will not be piled as high, but this is an option if you prefer.
Along the lines of the note above, you can forgo making pies at all and just use the filling as a delicious eggnog ice cream. Perfect for pairing with Christmas cookies!
Feel free to pipe whipped cream on top in a pretty design, or just use a dollop on each slice.
