Homemade eggnog pudding, this recipe can’t get much easier. With a festive flair, this homemade pudding recipe is made with eggnog, yum!
As with most people around this time of year, I just love making tons of desserts! And, of course, I like to use seasonal flavors.
I haven’t tried making many things with eggnog in the past, so I thought, why not!
This pudding is rich and decadent, serve in glasses and top with cinnamon whipped cream if desired!
This is also a wonderful recipe to make to use in other desserts like pie filling, parfaits, or even cookie cups!
But, I like to just eat it up with a spoon… its that good!
Eggnog Pudding Directions:
- Place dry ingredients in a medium-sized pot and mix together.
- Stir in eggnog and egg yolks, turn the heat on to medium and whisk constantly.
- Cook pudding until thickened, and it coats the back of a spoon.
- Immediately pour into a medium-sized bowl, top with plastic wrap so it is completely covering the pudding, make sure it is touching the pudding.
- Chill at least 3 hours to set.
- To serve, divide among four small glasses, top with cinnamon stabilized whipped cream and a garnish of ground cinnamon, enjoy!

So delicious! I just made this for our Christmas dinner for 4 and it is scrumptious! I had to substitute 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for the cornstarch because I had no cornstarch in the cabinet & I wasn’t going out in the snow, but it still came out perfectly 🙂

YUM, thanks so much for letting us know about the substitute!
