Creamy Eggnog Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Crush four cookies; set remaining cookies aside for garnish. In a small bowl, combine the crushed cookies, graham cracker crumbs and butter. Divide among eight serving dishes., In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup eggnog. Add the milk, pudding mix, extract, nutmeg and remaining eggnog. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until thickened. , Spoon about 3/4 cup into each dish. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Garnish with whipped topping and reserved cookies.

Steps:

• Whisk half-and-half and egg together in a glass bowl. Whisk in some of the hot eggnog mixture. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan; cook and stir until pudding is thick, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 2 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
• In a heatproof bowl, whisk together sugar, tapioca and nutmeg. Whisk in egg yolks until mixture forms a thick yellow paste, then whisk in remaining 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
• Whisk some of the hot milk into the yolk mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, whisking constantly (this will temper the egg yolks rather than cook them). When about half of the milk has been added and yolk mixture is warm to the touch, return entire mixture to the saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and starts to bubble, then cook for 2 minutes more, whisking constantly so custard stays smooth and does not burn. Remove from heat and stir in butter, followed by bourbon and vanilla.
