Egg Nog Desserts
As much as I enjoy eggnog when the holidays roll around, I’ve never thought about making eggnog desserts. In fact, I’ve never even seen an eggnog dessert at a party, and I can’t figure out why! We’re big eggnog lovers, so desserts with eggnog sounded so good! Don’t let that leftover eggnog go to waste!
Nothing says the holidays like eggnog and sweet treats, so why not combine them to make a dessert that everyone will rave about? From cakes and pies to trifles and fudge, there are so many ways to enjoy eggnog instead of just drinking it from a glass!
I don’t know what it is about eggnog. People either seem to love eggnog or claim they can’t stand the stuff. I have one daughter who will be drinking it from now until New Year’s and another daughter who you couldn’t pay to drink it!
But something wonderful happens when you add eggnog to a dessert recipe. No matter which camp you fall into, you’re sure to enjoy the rich taste of one (or more!) of these eggnog desserts that are perfect for your holiday celebrations.

Variations
You can switch up any of these recipes by adding a different flavor. Try adding a little of your favorite spirit like rum, or add rum extract if you want to keep it booze free.
Add a little bit of extra eggnog for more of that flavor, but be sure to reduce the same amount of liquid somewhere else in the recipe so you don’t change the texture too much.
Top just about any of these with Cool Whip for even more deliciousness. Or make our whipped cream recipe if you have time. It’s so good! Top with a little nutmeg for extra flavor!
A scoop of eggnog ice cream is a great addition to any of these while you can get it!
Storage Tips
Remember to store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container. See each recipe for recommendations.
If you’re making something with icing ahead of time, it’s best to wait until an hour or so before serving to add the icing.
