Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 envelopes unflavored jello
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg ground
2 1/2 cups eggnog store bought or already prepared
1 cup whipped cream
1 pie shell baked and cooled completely
Redi whip (garnish)
cocoa powder for garnish
Tip: You will need two large mixing bowls, one that nests into another is ideal for this recipe. Make sure you read through this recipe before you begin so you will know what all you need in it's preparation.
In a medium saucepan on low heat, mix sugar, cocoa powder, jello, and nutmeg. Stir in 1 cup of eggnog; let stand 1 minute. Stir until jello dissolves completely.
Add in the rest of the eggnog. Pour into a bowl large enough to accommodate mixture. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has ice cold water and/or water with crushed ice. Stir until mixture is pudding like consistency on the spoon and forms a mound. Remove bowl from ice water.
Fold in whipped cream. Gently scoop into pastry shell. Chill until firm.
Garnish with cocoa powder, and Redi whip if you like.
