Description
Luxurious and creamy Eggnog Mousse Cups embody the festive flavors of holiday eggnog in a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar (or powdered sugar)
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (or agar-agar for a vegetarian option)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cold water (for gelatin)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit until it blooms for about 5 minutes.
- Warm half of the eggnog in a saucepan until it’s just hot, then add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
- Slowly fold the warm eggnog mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined. Gently blend in the nutmeg and vanilla.
- Spoon the mousse into serving cups and chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
- Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and a light dusting of nutmeg.
Notes
Chill bowls and utensils beforehand for fluffier cream. Don’t overmix when combining the whipped cream and eggnog mixture. Can be made a day in advance.
