Eggless Eggnog
(makes 4 servings)
—Half a 3.4-ounce box instant French vanilla pudding
—3 cups milk (powdered milk or more-shelf-stable soy milk works also)
—1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
—2 ounces bourbon or rum (more or less as desired)
In a large bowl, combine French vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk and whisk for 2 minutes. Allow to chill for 5 minutes. Add rum or bourbon and nutmeg to pudding mixture, then slowly mix in remaining milk until mixture is the consistency of a smoothie (thick but drinkable). Pour into individual servings and enjoy!
