For the best flavor, use a high-quality eggnog. Consider using homemade eggnog for an even more luxurious result. To prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the pudding as it cools, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. This pudding can be served warm or chilled. Chilling it allows the flavors to meld even further. Feel free to adjust the amount of nutmeg to your liking. Some prefer a more pronounced nutmeg flavor, while others prefer a more subtle hint. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with whole milk or a combination of heavy cream and milk.

May 12, 2025The eggnog flavor is perfect – not too overpowering. I added a little cinnamon, as suggested, and it was delicious!
