Wow, does this one sound delish! Are you out looking for Eggnog yet? LOL It sure does make me want some. This one sounds so cool and refreshing. From Pilsbury Christmas cookbook: For authentic flavor, use frozen custard for this dessert. Frozen custard is made with eggs, while ice cream may or may not contain them. Or us French vanilla ice cream, which is traditionally made from custard. Pic from the internet. Hope you enjoy this one too.
