5 from 57 reviews

This Creamy Eggnog Dip is a luscious, festive dessert dip combining instant vanilla pudding and rich eggnog for a thick, flavorful treat. Enhanced with whipped topping and optional warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, it’s perfect for serving alongside cookies and fruit during the holiday season.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ¼ cups eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract (optional)
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix pudding and eggnog: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and eggnog until the mixture thickens and your whisk shows some resistance, resulting in a thicker-than-usual pudding consistency. Add the rum extract at this stage if using.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and no streaks remain, ensuring a creamy texture.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 15 minutes up to 1 hour to allow it to set and enhance flavor meld.
  4. Add spices and serve: Before serving, optionally dust the dip with ground cinnamon and/or ground nutmeg for added warmth and aroma. Serve chilled with a selection of cookies and fresh fruit for dipping.
  5. Enjoy and share feedback: If you try this recipe, consider leaving comments or star ratings to share your experience with others.

Notes

  • The rum extract is optional but adds a subtle holiday flavor that complements the eggnog well.
  • Allowing the dip to chill improves its texture and flavor integration.
  • Serve with sturdy cookies like ginger snaps or fruit slices like apple or pear for best dipping experience.
  • This dip can be made a few hours in advance and stored refrigerated.
