Easy Holiday Desserts ~ Eggnog Pudding Pies

And let the holiday recipe blitz begin!  There is just something about this time of year that inspires me!  I love the warm rustic colors of Fall, the bright bling and lights of Christmas, the pop and fizz of New Year’s Eve … this truly is my favorite season.  So be prepared for all manner of holiday gifts and crafts, easy holiday desserts and a big ol’ dose of holiday cheer around here!  Fair warning:  I’m pretty sure there will excessive exclamation points, too.  It’s what I do!

Okay, so let’s get this sugar fest started with a super simple dessert that you can prep ahead for holiday entertaining …

Easy Holiday Desserts ~ Eggnog Pudding Pies

I’ll go ahead and open this can of worms …

Eggnog – Yay or Nay?

I am firmly in the eggnog lovers camp.  As soon as I spy that half gallon of pale yellow eggnog in the dairy case, it hits my cart and I can’t get home fast enough.  With that first little sip of cold eggnog I know the holidays are upon us!  And even though I know eggnog is typically associated with Christmas, I think the richness and nutmeg are kind of perfect for Thanksgiving, too.   Shoot – make them for both holidays!  I think they are that good!!

If you prefer, you can make this in an 8 or 9 inch pie crust.  I, however, love mini anything, so at our house, everyone gets their own petite pie. Served with a big ol’ fluffy dollop of whipped cream.  I totally added a dollop (or three) more when we chowed down after the obligatory blog photos.

If you are like me, I always need easy holiday desserts.  For brunches and parties and get togethers and this year’s Pinterest party (eeeee! more details coming soon!) … and maybe just because!
