Lighter Eggnog Pudding

Submitted by HeatherFeather

"A simple but very tasty dessert. I noted in my cookbook "Good enough for company" when I first tried this. Adapted from a Joanna Lund cookbook. The brandy extract and the fresh nutmeg really makes this special. I have made this only using brandy flavor extract, but I think it would be also nice with rum flavoring."

• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 (1 1/2 ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix (4 serving size)

2. Fold in Cool Whip and brandy extract to blend.

This is a very nice dessert that I enjoyed. The pudding is light textured and would be very nice after a holiday dinner, The flavor is more of a nod toward eggnog than being "noggy". I used the brandy extract and the rum might help mimic more, at least for me, as we use rum in it if we add alcohol at all. Being a diabetic I do appreciate a dessert with numbers this low and it does have a very nice flavor that is easy to enjoy.
