Eggnog Pudding Parfaits

The holidays can be a lot of pressure.  Decorate the house perfectly … more specifically better than your neighbors.  Buy the best gifts that don’t end up being returned or hated … and gift cards don’t count.  Host parties … that people remember year after year for all their awesomeness.  Cook and bake … picture perfect recipes that make it seem like you should be on Top Chef.

Oh and keep up with all the other things you do on a normal basis.

Eggnog Pudding Parfaits

It’s all a lot.  Too much.  I don’t know about you, but I am not Supergirl and I cannot do all of these things, at least not well, all at the same time.

Plus, those things, they are so not what the holidays are about.  Like not even a little.

The holidays are about being thankful and enjoying life.  They are about taking extra time with your loved ones, and no the computer for online shopping definitely doesn’t count.

Eggnog Pudding Parfaits

Don’t get me wrong, I am so looking forward to opening gifts on Christmas morning.  And I love our Christmas tree.  But I just don’t need everything to be the biggest and best, I don’t need everything to be perfect, which is good, because it’s never going to be.

For me in some ways the holidays are just other days that fall into place among the normal Thursday and Saturdays of the year.  I think this is a good thing because it means I try to take time most of those days to be extra thankful, bake a fun treat for a friend, give Mom and extra tight hug, or plug in the Christmas tree we leave up year round.  Why should we save those things for one or two days a year?

Eggnog Pudding Parfaits

We do save to save eggnog treats, like these Eggnog Pudding Parfaits because nog is only around at the holidays.  Eggnog isn’t exactly my thing, so I picked up some Califa Farms Almondmilk Nog and am kind of obsessed with it.  I’ve been putting it in my morning oatmeal and it’s kind of life changing.

So is the homemade eggnog pudding that is the star of these parfaits.  Pudding is one of my favorite homemade treats because it is easy to make and never too heavy.  The kick of bourbon really rounds out the flavor of this creamy pudding.

Because I wanted to make something extra special, I layered the pudding with homemade cranberry sauce and whipped cream, plus a dash of cinnamon.  I will happily devour this parfait any time of year.

Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ¼ cups eggnog
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • Cranberry sauce, for serving
  • Cinnamon, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the pudding. In a medium sauce pan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the eggnog and egg yolks. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously until mixture comes to a boil and thickens to pudding consistency. Remove from the heat and whisk in the bourbon. Pour into a heat proof bowl and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
  2. When ready to assemble, make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. I did this by hand but a hand or stand mixer will work. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar.
  3. Layer eggnog pudding, whipped cream, and cranberry sauce in your serving vessels. Top with a pinch of cinnamon and serve.
  4. Components of parfaits may be made 1 day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

    The holidays and I don’t always get along–It’s complicated. But I would happily have one of these parfaits. I imagine it’s the perfect blend of sweet-tart with that cranberry layer. 🙂

      So complicated. Honestly, I’ll be happy when they are over and we’re moving toward spring. They make me really sad in general.

    Great idea for a parfait. I like that you used real rum instead of an extract 😉

      Thanks, Ali! I don’t use many extracts other than vanilla. Always the real thing!
