Frozen Eggnog Recipes

FROZEN EGGNOG

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks until they are thick and pale and gradually beat in sugar. Fold in whipped heavy cream and freeze the mixture until it is almost hard. Remove the cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Stir in the Cognac and dark rum, to taste. Stir in a few handfuls of rum-soaked raisins, if desired. Return the mixture to the freezer. Serve the eggnog in small punch cups, with spoons.

HOMEMADE EGGNOG

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar and salt. Gradually add 4 cups milk; cook and stir over low heat until a thermometer reads 160°-170°, 30-35 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a large bowl., Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and remaining milk. Place bowl in an ice-water bath, stirring until milk mixture is cool.

FROZEN EGGNOG

Steps:

• Pour about 2/3 of the container of eggnog in a shallow glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer. When it is frozen, it will be sort of a like sherbert. Scoop half of this frozen eggnog into a blender pitcher.
• Add liquors and blend. Then add enough of the unfrozen eggnog until you get a nice smooth slushy texture. If you want it stronger, add more liquor and less of the unfrozen eggnog.
• I like to top mine with whipped cream and sprinkle with a cinnamon/sugar mixture.
• For a non alcoholic version, replace liquor with more unfrozen eggnog. Also, you may wish to thin it out with milk or cream. Freezing lowered the intensity of flavor, so when I added the cream, I needed to also add a little sugar and a little nutmeg.
• Unused frozen eggnog can be transferred to a freezer dish and kept in the freezer for a quickie drink anytime. Yummy!
