Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 oz) package vanilla instant pudding mix
- ¾ cup (180 mL) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240 mL) eggnog
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon rum (optional, or to taste)
Instructions
- Mix pudding and cream: Pour the instant pudding powder into a large bowl. Add the heavy cream and whisk vigorously until the pudding powder is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Combine remaining ingredients: Stir in the eggnog, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg using a large spatula until everything is evenly combined. Taste the mixture and add rum if desired, adjusting to your preferred level of flavor.
- Chill before serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken properly before serving.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum or replace with rum extract.
- Serve with ginger snaps, graham crackers, apple slices, or cinnamon tortilla chips for a festive pairing.
- If you prefer a thicker dip, use less eggnog or increase the pudding mix slightly.
- Make ahead and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours for best freshness.
