A Christmas favourite – It’s Egg nog day.

Whilst today may be renowned as Christmas Eve, it seems that this year the 24th December is also Egg nog day! A Christmas punch, this tradition is shared with our friends across the pond in the USA and Canada. Simply, it includes milk, and/or cream, sugar and whipped eggs to give the frothy texture and appearance. You can also add brandy or rum for a proper Christmas tipple.

Mini Egg nog Cheesecakes

 

 

Whilst I love cheesecake, I can’t say that I have yet tried this version. I love the smaller, individual portions – perfect for any Christmas party. Baked by Rachel describes these as luscious and flavoured for the season – a simple treat to share. Take a look at the full recipe here.

Pumpkin Egg nog Pie

 

Pumpkin pie – a traditional thanksgiving dish in the US, the egg nog twist brings a little more Christmas to plates all around. This pie has a lighter texture than the dense, heavy feeling of traditional pumpkin pie. The girl who ate everything explains how to bring this pie to your table this Christmas.
