ELEGANT EGGNOG DESSERT
This impressive dessert has become so popular that I have to make three every year-one for my husband to take to work, one for our family on Christmas Eve and one for his family Christmas Day! Any flavor of Pirouette cookies can be used, and vanilla can be substituted for the rum flavoring. -Lisa Scanio, Tampa, Florida

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and cream will give your eggnog the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients for the best quality.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the ingredients before making the eggnog will help it to thicken and become creamy.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you to get a smooth and creamy eggnog. If you don't have one, you can also use a whisk, but it will take longer.
- Add spices early: If you're using spices, add them to the eggnog early so that they have time to infuse their flavor.
- Garnish with whipped cream and nutmeg: Whipped cream and nutmeg are classic garnishes for eggnog. They add a touch of sweetness and flavor that complements the eggnog perfectly.
