Eggnog Sundae Desserts

4 3/4 oz vanilla wafers (or 8 graham crackers)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup melted butter
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups eggnog
2 cups whipped topping

1. Make cookie crumble by crunching up vanilla wafers (or graham crackers). I use my food processor to mix all this together.
2. Toss in the nutmeg and melted butter. Set aside.
3. In a small pan, make the filling by sprinkling gelatin over 1 cup of the eggnog. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. I recommend using a double boiler.
4. Heat the gelatin/eggnog mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. Remove from heat and add second cup of eggnog. Stir until evenly mixed.
6. Refrigerate until the mixture is thick and syrupy like unbeaten egg whites — about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
7. Beat the mixture until frothy.
8. Fold in 2 cups of whipped topping.
9. In sundae glasses, spoon some cookie crumble, then some eggnog cream. Alternate layers until you reach the top. Refrigerate until firm.
10. Serve with a dollop of whipped topping and/or favorite garnish.
