Slow Cooker Recipe
Eggnog Gingersnap Custard
Suddenly Christmas is over, but we’re just not quite ready to stop celebrating. Many of us have a few more family gatherings to go to and just one or two more holiday meals to make and serve. Yes, we’re clinging to that Christmas cheer just a little longer.
There are few flavors that remind us more of Christmas than eggnog—that wonderful, frothy beverage we only drink at this time of year.
The first time we made this custard, we just loved the soft blend of Christmas-y flavors from the sharp bite of the gingersnaps and the creamy eggnog. We served this thick custard straight from the slow cooker while it was still warm. But it was just as delicious when we snuck back to the fridge a little while later for a second serving of the chilled dessert.
Maybe we’ll make it a third time and serve it to our friends when we’re counting down the minutes until midnight this New Year’s Eve.

looks good. I adore eggnog. My friend was telling me recently that she used to make eggnog as an after-school snack when she was a little girl. I think I might extend my season for eggnog!
Yummy!!! This is a wonderful and easy treat!!!
how did this turn out , was it creamy ? >
can’t wait to try this! I love custards and puddings.
I’m looking for recipes for one person, my husband passed this January and I have a hard time cooking for myself. This is a huge adjustment for me, I think I will try the chicken recipes ,but I need to learn how to cook for one now.
Thank You
