Eggnog Trifle

This is an easy, yet beautiful dessert. The custard is very light. I usually double the recipe and fill a large trifle bowl.

Ingredients

1. Pour milk into large bowl. Add pudding mix, 2 tablespoons of the juice and nutmeg. Beat with wire whisk 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir in whipped topping.
2. Slice cake horizontally into 4 layers. Sprinkle cake layers evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons juice. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
