This is an amazing Christmas dessert with all the wonderful Christmas flavours of eggnog, cinnamon and Spekulatius (spiced cookies from the Netherlands).

A great dessert for any pre Christmas catch up with friends. I just need another BBQ before Christmas to have an excuse to make it again!

I have a feeling this will be my signature Christmas dessert over the coming years.
