Each holiday season, Clover-lovers anxiously await the moment when Clover Eggnog arrives in stores.

Our delicious nog is available in classic Clover Stornetta 100% Natural and Clover Organic Farms versions.
If you’re an eggnog fan, you’re going to LOVE this original recipe for Clo’s Eggnog Pots de Crème developed by local blogger, Karen Pavone. These rich, flavorful custards are an elegant holiday dessert that is quick and easy to make. Our eggnog comes sweetened with just the right amount of pure cane sugar so there is no need to add additional sugar to this decadent treat. And it’s gluten-free!
We recommend making this dessert in the morning so the Pots de Crème have adequate time to cool, set, and chill in the refrigerator. To serve, top with a dollop of fresh whipped Clover cream then grab a spoon and get ready to accept the applause.
