What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
8 oz Cream Cheese : This is going to give you the best texture and creaminess for your filling. Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing. You can substitute with a dairy-free cream cheese if desired, but I prefer the classic taste here.
1 Cup Eggnog : A holiday staple that packs tons of flavor! Any store-bought eggnog will work well, or you can make homemade if you’re feeling adventurous. Just keep an eye on the sweetness level, so adjust as needed!
1 Cup Biscoff Cookie Butter : This is my go-to for that irresistible spiced flavor. It’s uniquely delicious, but if you don’t have any on hand, feel free to use any cookie or gingerbread spread. Almond or peanut butter could work too, just make sure it’s creamy!
1 Pre-Made Graham Cracker Crust : The best part about this pie? The crust is done for you! A graham cracker crust is ideal, but if you’d prefer to make your own, go for crushed cookies mixed with melted butter.
1/2 Cup Whipped Topping (optional for garnish) : This makes for a lovely finishing touch, adding a lightness to the pie that beautifully contrasts with the rich filling. You can use homemade whipped cream if you have it, or skip this altogether if you prefer!
Nutmeg for Garnish (optional) : A couple pinches of nutmeg add a lovely festive aroma. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or even crushed cookies on top if that suits your fancy!
Let’s Get Cooking!
How to Make Easiest No Bake Eggnog Cookie Butter Pie
Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. You want it to be nice and fluffy, it really sets the stage for the rest of our pie! This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in Eggnog and Cookie Butter: Gradually add in your cup of eggnog and cookie butter. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth, it’s going to smell SO good! This part takes roughly another 2 minutes.
Pour into Graham Cracker Crust: Carefully pour that luscious mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly. Just look at those textures! I can already tell it’s going to be a crowd-pleaser.
Chill the Pie: Pop that pie into the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight if you can wait). This allows the filling to firm up and flavors to meld together nicely. If you’re in a hurry, just make sure it’s set before serving.
Serve and Garnish: Before serving, top it with some whipped topping and a sprinkle of nutmeg, or go wild with your toppings! Slice, serve, and watch your family enjoy. You’re going to love seeing their faces light up!

Serving and Storage Tips
What to Serve With This
This pie pairs beautifully with a warm cup of spiced tea or a holiday coffee blend. If you’re feeling cheeky, a scoop of ice cream on the side wouldn’t hurt either! Decorating with festive sprinkles also adds a fun touch if you’re serving at a get-together.
Storage
Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days if it lasts that long! Just make sure it’s covered well, so it doesn’t absorb any odors from the fridge.
Reheating
Honestly, this pie is best served cold, so no need for reheating. If you want to enjoy it a little warmer on the inside, you could sit it out for about 15 minutes before serving.
Freezer Friendly
If you want to make this ahead of time and freeze it, you can! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and it’ll keep for about 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving for best results.
