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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
