Introduction to Eggnog Pie
Forget about all of your old holiday desserts because we’ve got your new favorite dessert recipe and this one takes the pie! Drinking egg nog around Christmas time has always been tradition, but what if we took that tradition to the next level and created an eggnog pie? Well, we did it, and it’s low carb and super easy to make!
We’ve Got Christmas Pies!
There is nothing more exciting than walking into someone’s house and seeing homemade pies. This year, make sure to impress and excite your family and friends with at least two different pies.
Simple Pie Crust
The key to any good dessert pie is starting with a simple and slightly sweet pie crust. We’ve got the ‘perfect every time’ pie crust for you in a sweet and savory version! For a recipe like this where no baking is required for the filling, you always want to bake the pie crust all the way through. Traditionally, with other pies where you bake the entire thing, you only have to partially bake the crust, but for this recipe, we doubled the bake time to ensure it was cooked through.
No-Bake Filling
Aren’t the best desserts the no-bake kind? Easier preparation and quicker to eat! All that is required for this recipe is mix, fill, and chill prior to serving. You can even get the kids involved. What makes this filling no-bake is the use of gelatin. Gelatin powder creates a gelatinous-like consistency so whatever liquid it is used in will be more likely to hold its form.
Raw Egg Yolks
You may be turned off at the thought of consuming raw yolks, but it’s essential to note that the consumption of raw yolks, raw anything, is overblown. The risk of getting salmonella is very low. When we buy our eggs, especially when looking to consume them raw, we make sure we buy good quality eggs.

Even though no-bake can be taking the easy route, it doesn’t mean the desserts will be any less delicious. We’ve got a few that we think you should give a try before you preheat your oven!

Instructions
Low Carb Sweet Crust
- Bake your crust all the way through for about 18-20 minutes. Watch edges so they don’t burn. Allow to cool completely.
- Note: Since we won’t be baking the crust again, we want it all the way cooked through prior to adding the eggnog filling!
Filling
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. Add in erythritol, stevia, rum extract (if using), and nutmeg and mix until combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tbsp gelatin powder. Set aside and let it bloom for 3-5 minutes.
- While the gelatin is blooming, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl.
- Once gelatin has bloomed, microwave it for 10-15 seconds so that it melts into the water.
- Add the gelatin mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Fold the egg mixture into the whipped cream.
- Transfer the eggnog mixture to the cooled pie crust and smooth out using a spatula. Garnish with additional nutmeg, if desired.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours prior to slicing and serving. Best stored in an airtight container up to 5 days.
