You’re not going to believe me when I say this, but I am not an Eggnog fan. Not even a little bit. I think it is mostly because I am not a rum person. However, I do appreciate the flavor of Eggnog. Still confused? Let me explain. I do not enjoy drinking a thick cold drink with eggs, rum, and spices. But I do appreciate the spices that are in Eggnog. My love/hate relationship with Eggnog is this weird conundrum of contradictions, I know. But these Eggnog Pudding Parfaits are more of my speed and a perfect holiday treat!

How to make these Eggnog Pudding Parfaits
Making the Eggnog Pudding really isn’t that hard. All you have to do is combine, eggnog, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch to a medium saucepot and stir until it thickens. Once you make the pudding, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer ensuring you have a silky and luscious pudding. Allow it to cool completely. Finally, layer with pudding and crushed Ginger Snaps and top with a dollop of whipped topping. I’ll tell you something, my husband is not a huge Eggnog person either or a Ginger Snap guy, but it’s something about having both of these flavor combinations together that just works. He could not stop eating a single parfait.
