	<li>Slice pomegranate in half.  Remove seeds and set seeds aside.  
Notch each cookie to fit over the rim of a glass; set aside</li>
	</ol>


	<ol>
	<li>In a small bowl, whisk together the eggnog and the pudding mix.  Refrigerate until firm and set, about 10 minutes.</li>
		<li>In a medium size mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy.  Beat in the prepared pudding.  Fold in the whipped cream.  Refrigerate until chilled, about 30-45 minutes.</li>
		<li>In champagne glasses or other slender holiday glassware, layer the crushed cookies and the mousse 2-3 times, ending with mousse.  Garnish with a light sprinkling of cookie crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon of pomegranate seeds.  Place the notched cookie on the edge of the glass rim.</li>
		<li>If not serving immediately, refrigerate parfaits covered with plastic wrap.  Add the notched cookies just before serving.
This recipe can easily be doubled.</li>
