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.

StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the eggnog, cooked rice, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepCook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble gently. (Cook time: about 5 minutes)
03
StepIn a heatproof bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and the egg until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)
04
StepGradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot eggnog mixture into the egg mixture, whisking quickly and continuously to temper the egg and prevent it from scrambling. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

May 12, 2025Response: Yes, you can, but it will affect the richness and flavor slightly. Consider using full-fat coconut milk for a similar creamy texture.

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

Apr 28, 2025Can I use almond milk instead of half-and-half?

Mar 8, 2025Response: Make sure to keep stirring and avoid high heat. If it's still too thin, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and whisk it into the pudding during the last few minutes of cooking.
