- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus more for garnish)

- In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar, eggnog, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in Whipped Cream
