Recipe type: beverage
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding
  • 1½ quarts milk
  • 2½ tsp rum extract
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Blend pudding mix and 2 cups of milk, following directions on pudding package. Chill for 5 minutes. Add the rum and nutmeg, then mix in the rest of the milk. Chill and serve.
Notes
If you don't want to use eggs in your eggnog, pudding mix will do the trick. It's not as rich as traditional eggnog, but is quicker to make and noticeably sweeter.

A super rich eggnog with cream and milk, with a bit of a kick from brandy and rum. An indulgence for the holiday season, or any time of the year for that matter. Why wait for Christmas?
