Bourbon Snow Cream

So, I had seen snow cream floating all around social media these past few months and especially these past few days and the only god thing about getting this snow, was the chance to finally make one. Living here for almost 9 years and other than one time, this was our first "real snow" Meaning there was almost 5 inches of accumulation and it was fluffy at first before the ice came to visit.

Once I saw the recipes, i knew I had to try and of course, bourbon had to join in on the fun. Almost all of the recipes I saw called for milk and I wanted to add in even more flavor, so I used a sugar free coffee creamer we had on hand in lieu of milk. So my recipe will be just a bit off of the norm. Feel free to use milk if you don't want to use creamer. And then, the second time we made it, we used the remainder of our bourbon eggnog, who says it is just for the holidays? 

Both recipes below!

ingredients
4 cups snow
1 cup bourbon eggnog

for bourbon caramel 
4 cups snow
3/4 cup caramel coffee creamer
1/4 cup bourbon

Mix together until you have the consistency you desire. I made mine a little more liquidy so I could enjoy in a glass with a straw. 

Gingerbread Eggnog IceBox Cake

Some people may think this is just a dessert for the holidays, but nope...Eggnog, especially eggnog with bourbon, is a winter drink. This means you have another 2 months to enjoy this treat. You should still be able to find some at your local liquor store(or if you are looking for non alcoholic, they normally carry till mid Jan at grocery stores) and the ginger cookies are out year round. 

This is very light and it is quite simple to make. There are few things I love more than a yummy icebox cake and the many variations you could make...just use your imagination. but only after you try this one;)

Ingredients

2 packs instant pudding(vanilla or cheesecake)

2 cups eggnog(cold)

1 cup milk

1 tub cool whip(or make 2 cups whipped cream)

1 package ginger thins

make pudding packs with milk and eggnog, place in fridge to set up. After about 15 minutes fold in whipped topping. In a loaf pan, ladle the eggnog mixture into the bottom of pan in a thin layer, place a layer of cookies on top and continue layering to top. Cover and place in freezer for at least 2 hours.
