Egg nog pie

Egg nog pie with gingerbread crust with a ring of whipped cream around the outside and one dollop of whip in the middle.

Two of the best things about the holidays are egg nog and pie. Putting those things together makes them exponentially more wonderful and festive—and turning them into egg nog pie is the whipped cream on top. Did we mention it's no-bake? And there’s whipped cream on top? Oh, and a gingerbread cookie crust. So the “best things about the holidays” count is currently up to five. Make that six.
