Eggnog cherry parfait

This eggnog cherry parfait is a delicious holiday dessert that is easy to make, uses few ingredients and it's ready in about 1 hour.

In this post I'm working with Shamrock Farms to bring you this creamy and fruity holiday dessert showcasing Shamrock Farms Eggnog.

One of the things I love about Shamrock Farms Eggnog is the creamy texture. I have been using it in many desserts because it adds great flavor depth.

I added a few spoonfuls of eggnog to my homemade whipped cream and it was fantastic to pair it with my homemade caramel pumpkin pie.

It also makes for a great coffee creamer! If you have a milk frother like one of those that come with espresso machines, replace your creamer for eggnog and enjoy a delicious coffee.

Parfait ingredients

I decided to use morello cherries because they are just a bit tart and make a perfect fruit filling. But this dessert will also work great with berries or cranberries.

I added biscoff cookies because they have a deep flavor that compliments perfect the cherries and the eggnog cream. You could also use graham crackers or vanilla wafers.

This dessert is perfect for a small gathering, where you don't need to make a huge batch. I also love the fact that is served in individual cups and it's ready to enjoy and perfectly portioned.
