Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggnog, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the eggnog filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set (overnight is ideal for the best texture).
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle a bit of ground nutmeg on top for garnish. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, add a dollop of whipped cream on each slice before serving.
- You can also use a pre-made graham cracker crust for convenience.
