Eggnog Mousse Parfaits
Description
This recipe transforms traditional eggnog into a mousse by dissolving gelatin into warmed eggnog mixture flavored with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Once thickened in the refrigerator, the mixture is whipped slightly to incorporate air, then folded with whipped topping to add creaminess and volume.
The mousse is assembled in individual cups by alternating layers of graham cracker crumbs and the mousse, creating texture contrast between the crunchy crumbs and smooth mousse. After chilling until firm, the parfaits are topped with remaining whipped topping and sprinkled with extra cinnamon for added spice aroma and decoration.
This dessert serves four and highlights festive spices typical of eggnog, offering a light but flavorful treat that can complement holiday meals or be enjoyed on its own.
