This time of year, it is tough to find a household that isn't stocked with the [creamy Christmas drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oldfashioned-eggnog). This recipe provides a delicious way to take eggnog to the next level by turning it into an edible treat. The recipe involves making eggnog balls and a creamy eggnog icing for drizzling. Begin making the eggnog icing by combining butter, powdered sugar, eggnog and some spices. A portion of the eggnog icing is then combined with graham cracker crumbs and flour to make the eggnog balls. These dough balls are subsequently fried in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Finally, the eggnog balls are coated in another layer of icing to add a hint of sweetness. The deep-fried eggnog treats provide a rich and indulgent way to enjoy a classic holiday beverage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fried Dessert Innovations:** Opportunity to create unique and indulgent fried desserts using classic recipes. - **Creative Food Mashups:** Opportunity to combine different food items to create new and exciting treats. - **Gourmet Holiday Treats:** Opportunity to elevate traditional holiday treats by adding gourmet twists and flavors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create innovative and unique products. - **Culinary Arts:** Opportunity for chefs and culinary artists to experiment with new flavor combinations and cooking techniques. - **Holiday Specialties:** Opportunity for holiday-themed specialty stores to offer unique and exclusive treats during the festive season. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Eggnog-Made Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-nog-tres-leches-cake.md) - [Prepackaged Eggnog Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzballz-chillers-eggnog.md) - [Mayonnaise-Infused Eggnogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayonog.md) - [Eggnog Cocktail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-nog.md) - [Deep-Fried Ice Cream Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-ice-cream-cookies.md) - [Creamy Eggnog-Infused Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-whiskey-eggnog.md) - [Tropical Spiked Eggnogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutwater-spirits-tiki-nog.md) - [Hard Peanut Butter Eggnogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screwball-eggnog.md) - [Peanut Butter Whiskey Eggnogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skrewball-eggnog.md)
