How to Make Holiday Eggnog Rice Pudding

  1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of eggnog and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until completely smooth.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and lumps.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 cup of cooked white rice, 1/2 cup of chopped maraschino cherries, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gently stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Spoon the rice pudding into individual serving dishes.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg (optional) and enjoy!
