Instructions
- Make the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon to pack it firmly and evenly.
- Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set before adding the filling.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, eggnog, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture, combining them until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Once the crust is chilled, pour the eggnog filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.
- Serve:
- Before serving, garnish the pie with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
Tips for Success
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks: For a light and fluffy filling, make sure the whipping cream is well-beaten to stiff peaks.
- Make ahead: This pie can be made up to two days in advance, making it a great stress-free dessert option for busy holiday times.
- Flavor variations: If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can increase the cinnamon and nutmeg, or even add a touch of rum extract for a more traditional eggnog taste.
