Eggnog Pudding #SafeNog
There are so many reasons why this is the happiest time of the year, one of them just knowing that eggnog is readily available. When I have the time, I make my own like I did last year for Chocolate Eggnog Truffles.
This year I’ve decided to incorporate store bought eggnog into a recipe. There were so many options, but the cool creamy consistency of pudding was calling my name. So, Eggnog Pudding, very quickly, became the recipe I had to make.
We are all faced with time constraints during the holiday season. I consider the simplicity of Eggnog Pudding’s recipe a real time saving bonus. As is the case with many of you, I am a tad egg-phobic and, therefore, I am very thankful to have discovered Davidson’s Safest Choice® Eggs.
Davidson’s Safest Choice® Eggs are pasteurized in an all-natural, gentle water bath and this process eliminates the risk of that awful salmonella without altering either the nutrition or the flavor. They are, also, all-natural, hormone free, antibiotic free, vegetarian-fed and kosher.
To make sure that we all have a wonderful #SafeNog holiday season, there will be a Safest Choice™ sponsored #FoodieChats twitter chat on Monday, December 7 from 7-8:30pm EST as well as an Instagram photo contest that ends December 14.
How’s that for really making certain we all have a happy holiday season? As for the Eggnog Pudding, it’s a tough call deciding which part I like the most: the perfectly balanced eggnog pudding or the rum whipped cream topping. Fortunately, we do not have to choose one over the other, because they come together beautifully.
