Nothing hits the spot like a rich and creamy cup of delicious eggnog. With or without rum it is one of my all time favorite things. Added to a morning cup of coffee it is simply spectacular! So today I am sharing with you my all time favorite eggnog recipe. Enjoy!
Happy Homemade Eggnog
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teas. salt
4 cups whole milk
1 Tab. vanilla extract
1/8 to 1/4 teas. ground nutmeg
1/8 to 1/4 teas. cinnamon
*1/4 cup dark rum (optional)
1/4 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teas. powdered sugar
1/4 teas. vanilla extract
Ingredients: Yields 32 cups
12 large eggs
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teas. salt
2 quarts whole milk
3 Tab. vanilla extract
1 teas. ground nutmeg
1 teas. ground cinnamon
*1 cup dark rum(optional)
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 teas. powdered sugar
1/2 teas. vanilla extract
Directions:
In a heavy 4 qt. saucepan, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Gradually stir in half of the milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the eggnog custard thickens and coats the back of a large metal spoon, about 25 min. The mixture should reached 160 degrees, but don't bring to a boil or it will curdle. Stir in dark rum if desired, otherwise omit. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon and the rest of the whole milk.
Pour the eggnog custard into a large heat/cold proof bowl or container. Cover, then place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Before serving prepare the whipped cream by whipping the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer just until soft peaks form. Whipped cream can turn to butter quickly, so stop mixing immediately when the soft peaks form.
With a wire whisk, gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog custard. Pour eggnog into cups, glasses or punch bowl. Garnish each cup or glass with a dash of ground nutmeg.
DELICIOUS!!!

ReplyDeleteNever been a fan but my sister loves it!
ReplyDeleteI love it too, now I want some and we only have some with alcohol that I bought.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love eggnog! I usually buy the light stuff from the grocery store, but this recipe sounds too good to pass up :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried eggnog before and it was fun to see what is all in it! I might have to try this recipe myself this Christmas?! *Ü*
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting, I wonder whether the milk can be replaced with nut milk instead? I have never tried eggnog before but they seem to have it in Starbucks around the holidays here in the UK. Will that be same as the one you make? x
ReplyDeleteAna you can try using nut milk. Maybe it will taste even better. Probably not same as Starbucks eggnog. This is much better.
