Tips for the Best Eggnog Dip 

Chilling Tip #1: Make sure to chill the eggnog dip for at least an hour before serving.

Storing Tip #2: Do not leave the eggnog dessert dip at room temperature for more than 2 hours, as the ingredients used in the recipe can go bad. 

Eggnog Tip #3: Homemade traditional eggnog is made with raw eggs, although when you add alcohol to the eggnog, it acts like a preservative and prevents the eggs from developing bacteria. In our recipe for Eggnog, we cook the eggs, preventing any issues with them. 

Make-Ahead Tip #4: You can make the eggnog dip beforehand and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Freezing Tip #5: You can also freeze the dip in an airtight container for up to 2 months and thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before using it.

Mixing Tip #6: As this eggnog dessert recipe requires a lot of mixing, I recommend using a stand or hand mixer for a smooth and creamy texture.

Ingredients for Eggnog Dessert Recipe 

Complete recipe below

• Cream cheese: You can use cream cheese of any brand; however, make sure it is softened by leaving it on the counter for 10-15 minutes before mixing. This ensures a smooth mixture.
• Eggnog: You can use store-bought or homemade eggnog. I made some at home, using this eggnog recipe I made for my daughter-in-law when she was expecting her first child. 
• Rum extract: You can easily find rum extract at the grocery store in the section which sells vanilla extract.
• Vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract is an essential ingredient to enhance the taste of other ingredients. 
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg: To balance the sweetness in the eggnog dip, add a little spice and a woodsy flavor.
• Powdered sugar: The main ingredient to add sweetness, taste, and perfection to the eggnog dessert; however, make sure to use powdered sugar and not granulated sugar to make the dip as smooth and velvety as possible.
• Whipped topping: You can use store-bought whipped topping (thawed) to add a distinct creaminess to the dip. Or whip cream is fine too.
