#### Instructions
2. **Prepare the Filling:**
– In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
– In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, eggnog, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
– Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture, combining them until smooth and fluffy.
3. **Assemble the Pie:**
– Once the crust is chilled, pour the eggnog filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
– Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set properly.
4. **Serve:**
– Before serving, garnish the pie with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
