Ingredients

• 2 packets unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup cold water
• 3 cups eggnog
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chopped canned pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup maraschino cherries (halved)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the bloomed gelatin, eggnog, sugar, and ground nutmeg. Stir gently until the gelatin and sugar are fully dissolved, about 5–7 minutes. Do not bring to a boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled eggnog mixture.

Step 5

Add the mini marshmallows, chopped pineapple, and maraschino cherries to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the fruit.

Step 6

Lightly grease a 6-cup gelatin mold or bundt pan. Pour the eggnog mixture into the mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 8

To unmold, dip the base of the mold briefly in warm water to loosen. Place a serving plate upside-down over the mold, flip, and gently shake to release the mold onto the plate.

Step 9

Garnish with additional cherries or a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired, and serve chilled.
