Let’s keep the holidays delicious, but simple. When you go the easy route, you don’t have to give up the seasonal flavors you love. This 4-Ingredient Frozen Eggnog Delight is a dessert our family loves. It’s budget-friendly and easy to make. Prep the dessert ahead of time and it’s ready whenever you need it – just pull it from the freezer. If you’re an eggnog fan, you’ll love the light creamy flavor.

I love the look of layered desserts. They’re so beautiful when you cut into them. The eggnog ice cream adds flavor to this festive Eggnog Delight and gives it a cool creamy texture. You can serve this dessert all throughout the Christmas season, and nobody will be the wiser that it’s so easy to make. If you love this version, try my 4-Ingredient Peppermint Delight version that uses peppermint ice cream!

This is a dessert that will feed a crowd, with 18 servings. If you have a lot of family over for holiday gatherings, you can make Eggnog Delight ahead of time and pull it out of the freezer whenever you’re ready for something sweet!

The more preparation that I do during the holiday season, the more seamless everything goes. It’s nice to stock the freezer and have a dessert ready.

How To Make Frozen Eggnog Delight Christmas Dessert

You can make this dessert and keep it in the freezer for up to three months. So I’ll make it right after Thanksgiving and we’ll eat off it all Christmas season long. Typically, I see eggnog ice cream start to make an appearance around October. Many store brands make an eggnog ice cream flavor. It’s easy to find.

What To Serve Alongside This Dessert

I love to enjoy this dessert with a fresh pot of coffee or hot chocolate. The combination of the hot and the cold are complimentary to each other. There are some optional toppings that you can add: hot fudge if you want to add chocolate flavoring or white chocolate shavings for a decorative topping. I’ve added them to the entire casserole dish and I’ve also asked individual guests if they want to add them – just preference.

How To Store The Leftovers

Any leftovers can be placed back into the freezer. I just keep the casserole dish in the freezer while we’re enjoying it, with plastic wrap on top. The frozen dessert is good for up to three months. If you add a decorative topping, you can always add extra when you serve the dessert again.

Frozen Eggnog Delight Ingredients:

• Golden Oreo Cookies
• Butter
• Eggnog Ice Cream
• Frozen Whipped Topping (Cool Whip)
• Optional Toppings: Ground Cinnamon or White Chocolate Shavings

Step-By-Step Directions To Make Eggnog Delight

Make a space in your freezer for a 9×13 baking pan. Using a food processor, finely crush Oreo cookies, pulsing about 10 times or until completely crushed. Add melted butter and process for five seconds. Mix well with a spoon to make sure the cookies and butter are combined well.

Pour into 9×13 baking pan and using the back of spoon, press the crust in to the bottom of the pan. Pop the pan into the freezer for 10 mins. 

Carefully spread about 1-1/2 tubs of ice cream onto the top of the crust. It helps to work in scoops, placing them on the crust and then pressing down, not really spreading out, but just placing scoops next to each other and then pressing them together to fill in all the spaces.

Top with whipped topping. Freeze for at least an hour before serving. Serve topped with ground cinnamon if desired.
