Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 2 ½ tsp)
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Optional Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Ground nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Make the Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and beat until well combined.

Dissolve the Gelatin:

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 1–2 minutes to bloom.
  2. Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved (do not boil). Let it cool slightly, then stir it into the eggnog mixture.

Whip the Cream:

  1. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture until smooth and evenly combined.

Assemble the Pie:

  1. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.

Serve:

  1. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon before serving.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Alcoholic Version: Add 2–3 tbsp of rum or bourbon to the filling for a boozy holiday twist.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
