Homemade Decadent Eggnog Recipes

OLD FASHIONED HOMEMADE EGGNOG

Steps:

• Put the milk, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and 1/2 tsp vanilla into a large saucepan. Put it over the lowest heat setting on your stove for 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar for 1 minute.
• Turn the heat under the milk up to medium-high heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
• Slowly whisk in about 1/4 of the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture. Then pour all of the egg/sugar mixture back into the saucepan and whisk it all together. Put it over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes. It will thicken a bit.
• Pour the hot eggnog into a large bowl or beverage container and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Add cinnamon sticks back in (optional).
• After 1 hour, stir in the heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and nutmeg. Store in the fridge and allow to cool for at least 4 hours before serving.

HOMEMADE EGGNOG

Steps:

• Cream egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
• Combine milk, whipping cream, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture just begins to simmer with 1 to 2 bubbles every 2 to 3 seconds, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add a very small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while constantly whisking the eggs. Continue adding small amounts of the milk mixture, whisking until all has been added; transfer eggnog back into the saucepan. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until liquid reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Pour eggnog into a large pitcher, cover, and refrigerate 6 hours to overnight.
• Blend cooled eggnog with an immersion blender until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Ladle into 7 cups and top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

AMAZINGLY GOOD EGGNOG

Steps:

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil. Strain to remove cloves, and let cool for about 1 hour.
• Stir in rum, cream, 2 teaspoon vanilla, and nutmeg. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

DECADENT EGGNOG (BAILEY'S)

Steps:

• In a lrg bowl, beat eggs till very thick & creamy. Gradually beat in sugar. Blend in milk & Bailey's.
• Whip cream in another bowl till it holds soft peaks. Stir whipped cream into egg mixture.
• Chill till ready to serve & stir again just before serving. (I like to dust the top w/nutmeg).
• NOTE: Prep steps were repeated exactly as shown on the net. I skipped Step 2, added the unbeaten cream w/the milk + Bailey's & cannot imagine it being any better if done as written, but you may choose your method.
