Instructions
1
Bake the cake mix according to package instructions. Cool completely before
assembling the trifle.
2
Add pudding mix to a large bowl and whisk in the eggnog and bourbon if using.
Whisk for 2 minutes until the mix is thoroughly smooth. Chill for at least 30
minutes, or can be made up to 1 day in advance.
3
Once the cake is cool, crumble half the gingerbread into the bottom of a trifle
or glass bowl.**
4
Spread half the pudding mixture over the cake, then spread 1 container of Cool
Whip over the pudding. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
5
Chill at least 6 hours or overnight.
6
Garnish with mini gingersnap or gingerbread boy cookies as desired.
7
In a heavy saucepan, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and nutmeg together.
Set aside.
8
In a microwave safe bowl, heat the milk in the microwave until hot. Don’t boil.
I use my ‘beverage’ button for this step.
9
Once the milk is hot, slowly add it to the egg mixture continually whisking to
keep the eggs from overheating.
10
Place saucepan over medium-low heat on the stovetop and, whisking constantly,
heat the mixture to 160 degrees (F). If you don’t have a thermometer, the
mixture should coat the back of a spoon but for safety, use a thermometer.
11
Remove eggnog from heat and pour through a strainer.
12
Completely chill the eggnog before using.
13
*If you can't find a gingerbread cake mix, you can substitute a spice cake mix.
Add 2 teaspoons ground ginger and replace 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil
called for in the mix with 2 tablespoons molasses. Bake as directed on package.

**You can also make individual servings using wine goblets or cocktail glasses.
