Eggnog Mousse

I would much rather bake with egg nog than drink it and this mousse was the prefect way to use egg nog. A light and fluffy mouse with egg nog flavor.

Eggnog Mousse

Ingredients:

• 2 cups eggnog
• 1- 1/4 ounce package unflavored gelatin
• 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a medium pot, add in the egg nog and sprinkle the gelatin over top. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Whisk the egg nog and gelatin together.
3. Heat the eggnog and gelatin over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot, but do not let the mixture come to a boil.
4. Remove from the heat and add in the white chocolate chips and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth.
5. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, but do not let it cool to the point where the gelatin begins to set.
6. While the egg nog mixture cools, use an electric mixer to whisk the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Set aside until the egg nog has cooled.
7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg nog mixture.
8. Transfer the mixture to individual serving containers or transfer to another container and refrigerate until set.

Enjoy!!!
