This homemade, non-alcoholic eggnog recipe makes a rich and creamy classic holiday drink for both adults and children. Laced with nutmeg and cinnamon, it brings cheer to festive gatherings. Sip and savor the essence of the season.

From the recipe author: “This recipe has been served by my grandmother every Christmas that I can remember. I’m spoiled on it now and cannot tolerate commercial eggnog. Enjoy!”

Ingredients
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
2 cups of milk or cream
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons nutmeg
2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients into a 2 quart (or larger) blender pitcher. Blend until mixed thoroughly.
  2. Serve or store in the refrigerator. Sprinkle extra nutmeg on top!

Note: We have always made as above. However, for those concerned about raw eggs, you may add a couple of extra steps: Whisk only the eggs, sugar, and milk together in a 3- to 4-quart pan. Place pan on low heat for 45 to 60 minutes until the temperature reaches 160° F and the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 4 hours to chill, then blend with remaining ingredients.
