Eggnog Frosting

This Eggnog Frosting is the perfect solution for using up that last bit of eggnog leftover from the holidays, and it goes perfectly on my Pumpkin Spice Cake!
This eggnog frosting recipe is nice because you can make it pretty much whatever consistency you want. My husband likes icing that is thin and drizzled over cakes, but I love a good thick frosting that stands up on its own.

I made a batch of Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes this weekend and casually walked over to the pantry for a can of icing (news alert: I don’t always make my own icing). But alas, there was none. Not even chocolate.
Which probably wouldn’t have tasted very good on the pumpkin spice cake, but I most likely would’ve used anyway because –> lazy.
It wasn’t an issue though since we didn’t have an icing at all. Sad panda. So, I started rifling through the kitchen and briefly considered fixing some Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Icing (which would have gone fabulously on the cupcakes), but decided to try something new when I spotted the little bit of eggnog remaining from Thanksgiving. Perfection!

A large portion of us such as the kind of eggnog, however we don't care for the calories. In the event that you could pick between eating four eggnog-enhanced treats as opposed to drinking eight ounces of locally acquired eggnog, which would you lean toward? Eggnog spice
