Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c chilled eggnog
1 box french vanilla mousse mix
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
16 oz can sliced peaches, drained
15 oz can pineapple tidbits, drained (i didn't use)
1 medium apple, chopped (i used a granny smith)
1/4 c maraschino cherries, drained and halved
1/2 c fresh blueberries or frozen (fresh is best) lol
1 can(s) sliced pears, drained and chopped
1 small can of mandarin oranges
1/2 c pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl combinge eggnog, vanilla mousse mix and nutmeg. Beat at high speed with electric mixer till soft peaks form. (about 5 minutes).
  • 2. Combine fruits and nuts. [I sliced up the apples, peaches and pears into smaller bites]. ---I didn't end up putting in the pineapple because I only had a crushed pineapple. The fresh blueberries, granny smith apple and pecans really blended well together.
  • 3. Now, fold into eggnog mixture. Cover and chill in refrigerator for several hours and even overnight would be good. Stir gently before serving.
  • 4. NOw, I tasted this with only 1/2 the amount of the fruit mixed in and it was yummy too. Much stronger taste of eggnog and thicker constistency too. Could be made either way. This is a pic of that way too.
  • 5. This is what I had in the cupboard and decided to use. I had chocolate and strawberry that I thought might be good too.
