Homemade Non-Alcoholic Eggnog
Do you think raw eggs in the traditional eggnog gross? This rich, creamy twist on the classic version has you covered. And it’s alcohol-free, so everyone can enjoy it!
Prep time: 10 minutes (+ time to chill)
Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1¼ c. sugar
4 c. whole milk
2 t. vanilla extract
1 t. ground nutmeg
2 c. evaporated milk
2 c. half & half
Optional Garnish:
Whipped cream
Cinnamon sticks
Dash nutmeg
Directions:
- Combine eggs and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a saucepan and stir in whole milk, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, stir evaporated milk and half and half until combined. Set aside.
- Heat egg mixture over medium-low heat while stirring constantly to prevent the milk from scorching. When mixture reaches 160 degrees on a candy thermometer, remove from heat and slowly whisk in evaporated milk mixture.
- Cool slightly before tasting. Add more sugar or nutmeg, if desired, before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate overnight or until thoroughly chilled. Serve in mugs and garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, and/or a dash of nutmeg, if desired. Enjoy!
(Note: For an alcohol-boosted version, just add your favorite rum, bourbon, or cognac.)
