Recipe
TO MAKE THE RASPBERRY SAUCE:
In a sauce pan combine raspberries, fresh squeezed lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir constantly over medium heat until thickened. Cool.
TO MAKE THE EGGNOG MOUSSE:
In another sauce pan combine eggnog, dry pudding mix, and nutmeg. Cook until thickened.
Remove from the heat and stir in Kahlua. Place in refrigerator to chill.
TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE:
Beat the cooled pudding mixture until smooth then fold in the whipped cream.
Fill dessert dishes* 1/2 with mousse then top each with some of the raspberry sauce then mousse again. Garnish if desired with raspberries and mint sprigs if using kahlua in the recipe or if using espresso garnish with espresso beans and raspberries. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon! Refrigerate.
*If you don't want to use individual dessert dishes this looks beautiful in a trifle bowl!
Servings: 6-8
