Eggnog Cordial Cups


I can't seem to resist "cute." That's why I never go into pet stores!! If I see things that are miniature versions of things (like keychain toys), or over-sized versions of things (ginormous clothespin on my desk), I often succumb to the impulse to buy it, so when I saw these cute little cordial cups one day while shopping for Christmas Stocking Suffers, they went directly into my cart. I had no idea what I would do with them, but that was beside the point - they were cute!  :)

I was originally planning to make some sort of cheesecake filling, but running short on time - and cream cheese, at the last minute, I whipped up a box of Fat Free/Sugar Free White Chocolate Instant Jello Pudding using Eggnog instead of milk. I wasn't trying to cancel out the Eggnog with the fat/sugar free, that just happened to be what I found in the pantry. I let it set for a while, then scooped it into a plastic bag I had snipped a corner out of and fitted with a piping tip, then piped the pudding into the cordial cups.  

I put them back in the fridge until I was ready to serve them and topped them with various items. A few had cocoa beans, others had a slice of banana, mint leaves, nutmeg, etc.  They were very well received for a quick and easy treat.
