Every year I go through different flavor phases. This year I'm loving eggnog. I have so many ideas running through my head using the creamy holiday nog. The problem is that there are not enough days to share all the fun holiday treats I want to make.
Usually I buy a carton at a time and limit my boys to one or two glasses each time because I need it for baking. Eggnog that is free to drink any time of day will make them so excited. You should see the big glasses they pour and drink. I can only handle a little bit at a time.
As I was trying to decide on a holiday recipe that would be easy for this busy season, I just knew I had to make something with eggnog. After all, that's my current flavor crush of the month.
I decided to change up this peppermint brownie trifle and mix the eggnog with a pudding mix, cream cheese and homemade whipped cream.
Layers of creamy cheesecake, chopped gingersnaps and fresh raspberries creates a delicious trifle. For some fun I also added some little ginger bread boy cookies around the bowl and on top.
This easy dessert will stop everyone in their tracks!

I need to make this dairy free, will let you know how it turns out
Brandi
Was wondering if this could be made the night before or is it better to make the day of?
Jocelyn
I would say it's probably the best if you make it the day you are actually going to serve it. It should be ok though if you need to make it one day ahead. I hope you enjoy the trifle!
