Ingredients
Scale
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 cup eggnog
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
1 cup crushed shortbread cookies or gingersnap cookies
1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and eggnog until well combined and smooth.
Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg.
Let the pudding mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the whipped topping.
To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of the cookie mixture into the bottom of 4-6 parfait glasses.
Top with a layer of the eggnog pudding.
Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of pudding.
Garnish the top of each parfait with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, add a dollop of whipped cream on top before garnishing.
You can prepare the pudding and cookie layers separately a day in advance and assemble them a few hours before serving.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference.
