Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Cranberry sauce for topping
  • Mint leaves optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Heat the Cream and Eggnog: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, eggnog, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Incorporate the Gelatin: Remove from heat, then stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Add vanilla extract and ground nutmeg for extra flavor.
  4. Pour and Chill: Divide the mixture into serving cups or molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Unmold (if using molds) and top with cranberry sauce. Garnish with mint leaves for a festive touch!

Notes

For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. To unmold easily, dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle with cinnamon or crushed gingerbread cookies before serving.
