Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the eggnog, cooked rice, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble gently. (Cook time: about 5 minutes)

03

Step

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and the egg until well combined. (Prep time: 1 minute)

04

Step

Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot eggnog mixture into the egg mixture, whisking quickly and continuously to temper the egg and prevent it from scrambling. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining eggnog mixture. (Prep time: 1 minute)

06

Step

Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency. This should take approximately 5 minutes. Be patient and don't rush this step for the creamiest results. (Cook time: about 5 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.

For the best flavor, use a high-quality eggnog. Consider using homemade eggnog for an even more luxurious result.
To prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the pudding as it cools, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
This pudding can be served warm or chilled. Chilling it allows the flavors to meld even further.
Feel free to adjust the amount of nutmeg to your liking. Some prefer a more pronounced nutmeg flavor, while others prefer a more subtle hint.
If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with whole milk or a combination of heavy cream and milk.

    This recipe is a keeper! So much better than plain rice pudding.

  • Adelle Kuhlman

    I used leftover rice from dinner, which made this even quicker to prepare. Great recipe!

  • Watson Collins

    This was so easy to make, and it tasted amazing! My family loved it.

  • Shanna Schmelerfahey

    Response: Yes, you can, but it will affect the richness and flavor slightly. Consider using full-fat coconut milk for a similar creamy texture.

  • Jacynthe Koeppcrooks

    The eggnog flavor is perfect – not too overpowering. I added a little cinnamon, as suggested, and it was delicious!

  • Jeanette Croninbogisich

    Can I use almond milk instead of half-and-half?

  • Natalie Klein

    My pudding didn't thicken as much as I expected. Any suggestions?

  • Garett Stracke

    Response: Make sure to keep stirring and avoid high heat. If it's still too thin, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and whisk it into the pudding during the last few minutes of cooking.
