Easy Homemade Eggnog
This Easy Homemade Eggnog is thick, sweet, smooth and super creamy! This velvety drink is easy to make at home, and my nonalcoholic version is perfect for the whole family to enjoy during the holiday season!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 3 cups 2% milk
- 3 cups heavy cream
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and the sugar has almost dissolved - you won’t manage to get the last few grains!
- Gradually whisk in the milk and transfer the pan to a medium low heat. Gradually heat, whisking often until it reaches 160F.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, 3/4 tsp of the nutmeg and the cinnamon.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, reserving the remaining 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to sprinkle on top of each serving.
Notes
1. This eggnog will keep in a covered pitcher in the fridge for up to 3 days.
