Easy Eggnog Pudding Dip
I have always loved eggnog; growing up I couldn’t wait for it to get in the stores so we could buy a carton for my dad and I to share. Back then, eggnog didn’t show up in the grocery store until December – I’m glad we don’t have to wait that long now. This year I bought my first carton before Halloween.
As per normal food blogger behavior, I can’t just drink eggnog – nope, I have to do something with it. This year I’ve created one of my favorite holiday desserts yet: Eggnog Pudding Dip. It’s a versatile dessert that’s great with a spoon, in a pie crust, or served with Gingerbread cookie dippers!
3 Ingredient Eggnog Pudding
- Eggnog – Use your favorite flavor and brand of eggnog. Just be sure to use one with dairy (they now make non-dairy eggnog, but pudding mix needs actual dairy to set up).
- Pudding mix – Make sure to use INSTANT pudding. You can choose either vanilla pudding mix or cheesecake flavor! You can also use sugar-free pudding if you want.
- Whipped topping – You’re welcome to make fresh whipped cream but I love the ease of using whipped topping. Use regular, low-fat or sugar-free!
How to make Eggnog Pudding
- Whisk together pudding mix and eggnog. Let sit until it thickens.
- Fold in whipped topping. Place in serving bowl.
- Chill until ready to serve. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.
What tastes good with eggnog?
The spicy nutmeg flavors in eggnog pair so well with other Christmas flavors, like gingerbread or any other fun holiday flavor. Gingerbread is my absolute favorite pairing with eggnog, unless I’m making a pie with a shortbread crust.
That’s why, when I decided on making Eggnog Pudding I knew I would serve it as a dip with Gingerbread cookies!
How do you serve Eggnog Pudding Dip?
I love serving sweet dips like this with cookies for a party. Who says a savory appetizer gets to have all the fun? Put this out on the dessert table and people will love it!
The best way to serve eggnog pudding like this is with Walkers Shortbread Gingerbread Men. I’ve also put this same recipe in a pie crust and used Walkers Gingerbread Men as a decorative topper.
FAQs
Can I use eggnog instead of milk?
You can make instant pudding mix with eggnog as long as it’s a dairy-based eggnog. Just swap out the milk for eggnog!
How do you store eggnog pudding?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Can I use sugar free pudding mix?
Yes you can use sugar free pudding mix and sugar free cool whip. This has not been tested with sugar-free eggnog but I think it will work.
Can you freeze it?
I recommend serving this fresh and not freezing it.

Walkers Shortbread has been around for more than 121 years! It’s made by the Walkers family in Scotland and it’s my favorite shortbread. It’s the only one I buy.
I remember when I was young it wasn’t something that was mainstream in the grocery store – we could only find it at Disneyland and at the holidays. Now, however, you can buy Walkers Shortbread all year long. At the holidays you can find things from their Holiday Line (like Christmas shaped shortbread).
Shortbread is perfect for a quick indulgence, but it also adds elegance to at-home entertaining. Their cookies can be edible decor, the perfect party favor or a great hostess gift!

Reply1 (approx 3.4 oz) box
ReplyI used Lactaid eggnog and it set really well!
ReplyCan you double this recipe?
ReplyYes
ReplyMy mother (a real eggnog aficionado, thought it was a little bland, so I whisked in a jigger of bourbon for an extra kick. Now she asks for it with all of her shortbread. Easy to make and worth the tiny bit of effort it needs.
ReplyI will try this recipe tomorrow for my family
ReplyWhat is whipped topping and how do I make this dip from scratch?
ReplyThis looks so good!! I’m going to make it for my Christmas party!
