This wasn't as good as it sounded. Can't put my finger on it, except I think I was expecting it to taste more like the real eggnog flavor ... which it didn't.

What is the sugar content in all your pies? This fact is always left out.

I have not made this particular recipe yet but I will as it sounds great. I have some comments on the other comments though. I have made other recipes that have eggnog in the name but do not contain eggnog itself. Eggnog flavor can be created by the Rum extract, nutmeg and the vanilla pudding. It is very close. There is also available eggnog flavored pudding that works well too. Since eggnog is not available year round it is nice to have alternatives. Vanilla wafer crumbs can be substituted for graham cracker crumbs to make a crumb crust if you wish. I think this recipe could be very versatile served any number of ways. As for the reduced fat items, they have been around since at least the 60's and many folks have been watching their fat intake since before then. Again it is good to have alternatives.

I suppose it is suppose to taste like egg nod since it does not have any in it. I like the taste but it is not egg nod like I remember egg nod. I layered mine in large bowl like I always do for banana pudding.

It doesn't look like a pie with the vanilla wafers. And how can mom's old recipe call for all the reduced fat. The nutmeg would make it seem something like egg nog, but very misleading.

Sounds like a banana cream pie - contains NO EGGNOG???

This recipe is good. I would try what another suggested and use Egg Nog in place of the milk. No reason why you couldn't put it in a 9" pie crust. Family Favorites are always a special treat.Thank you for sharing your special treat.
