{Skinny} White Chocolate Pumpkin Nog

You don't have to wait until Christmas to enjoy a glass of nog. You can enjoy a rich and delicious "happy Fall" glass of nog with this easy White Chocolate Pumpkin Nog. Oh, and without the usual nog-induced guilt too, because this fall version is even skinny. Bonus!

Happy Fall, y'all! One of my favorite things about Fall ... aside from the wonderful weather we enjoy here in North Carolina ... is pumpkin everything. We see pumpkin everywhere we turn as soon as the Fall season hits. And I love it. At our house, we turn to favorite fall recipes like Pumpkin Banana Bread, Pumpkin Apple Streusel Muffins, and even Pumpkin-Apple Waffles.

So when I came across a recipe for pumpkin nog, I just knew I had to try it. Because I was totally intrigued.

I mean, Pumpkin Nog? Who would have thought?

Better yet, White Chocolate Pumpkin Nog?

Even better still, Skinny White Chocolate Pumpkin Nog?

Oh yes, it had to be tried.

I came across the original recipe for this idea in Where Women Cook magazine , who was sharing it from the cookbook Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet. The recipe takes advantage of sugar-free white chocolate pudding mix and vanilla soy milk to keep the pumpkin nog lower in calories and fat than traditional nog.

And, oh man, is this stuff good.

With the pudding mix, the texture of the nog turns out quite thick, pretty much just like you would expect with traditional egg nog. The pumpkin flavor is prominent, with great notes of spice from pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a good level of sweetness from the white chocolate pudding.

While the recipe as-is is plenty sweet enough for me, if you want it just a tad sweeter, simply add a bit of Stevia, Splenda, or granulated sugar.

So if you love egg nog, and you love pumpkin{and like yummy stuff}, give this White Chocolate Pumpkin Nog a try, for sure. It's such a fabulous fall treat you'll definitely want to add to your "pumpkin everything" list.

Happy Fall, y'all!

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
