Instructions
In a large mixing bowl with a hand-held mixer, beat the pudding mix with eggnog for 2 minutes. The pudding mixture should thicken slightly. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the pie crust.
Refrigerate the pie for at least four hours.
To serve, place a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of nutmeg on each serving.
Notes
Make sure you use full-fat eggnog. You may not get the right consistency or texture if you use low-fat eggnog.
Make an adult version by adding some brandy or other booze to your pie filling.
If you prefer a pastry pie crust, you can use that instead. It will need to be blind-baked and cooled before being filled.
