Cracking the top of the creme brulee.

Looking for an easy, make ahead dessert for the coming holidays? Try this Eggnog Creme Brulee.

You’ll need store bought eggnog, some Mascarpone, sugar, spices and you’re good. While Mascarpone is not usually part of a Creme Brulee it is necessary in the absence of full fat cream (eggnog is made with whole milk).

The mascarpone keeps the richness and creamy consistency. You don’t want a runny dessert.

Get that kitchen torch out, sprinkle some crushed candy cane and serve. Your guests will love this nice take on a French classic.
