Not only does it taste perfect for the holidays but is so easy to make. Trust me when I say that you need to ditch the store-bought cartons this holiday season and make your own eggnog at home. I mean, there’s nothing having eggnog while you cozy up on the couch by the tree!\nEggnog is a beverage that’s been around during the holidays for years! It’s usually made with some liquor, but we are sharing a nonalcoholic eggnog recipe with you today. It’s perfect to share with your whole family and it tastes absolutely amazing! Creamy, thick, and decadent from a dash of vanilla and nutmeg. This is pure joy in a glass! You can also use this recipe in your holiday baking like in this\nfudge\nor in these\ncookies\n.\nIngredients You Need to Make Nonalcoholic Eggnog\nThis recipe only uses six ingredients! That’s right, only six. And I’m guessing that you already have these in your kitchen! Especially around the holidays. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.\nEgg yolks:\nIn this recipe I cook the eggs to avoid any chances of bacteria.\nSugar:\nThis sweetens up the taste.\nMilk and Heavy Cream:\nThese act as the base for the eggnog and give it that creamy taste!\nVanilla Extract:\nThis enhances the sweet flavors in the recipe.\nNutmeg\n: Is it even a holiday treat if you don’t use nutmeg??\nLet’s Make Some (Nonalcoholic) Eggnog!\nThis eggnog is thick and creamy and utterly delicious! You will never go back to store-bought eggnog again! Some eggnog recipes also ask you to fold in egg whites at the end, but since we are cooking our eggs here, that’s not necessary. You can use the egg whites to make meringues or egg white omelets.\nSeparate eggs:\nSeparate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl. The whites can be placed in another bowl, covered and refrigerated. You can use them later in another recipe if you want!\nAdd sugar and blend:\nAdd sugar to the yolks and use a hand blender or whisk to whisk them together till pale and creamy.\nHeat milk and add eggs:\nHeat milk and cream in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure to add the milk mixture in a thin, steady stream so that you don’t scramble the eggs. Whisk continuously until all the milk is whisked in.\nCook and add vanilla and nutmeg:\nTransfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook on medium heat till the eggnog thickens to your desired consistency. Keep stirring as it heats to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Whisk in the vanilla and nutmeg.\nServe:\nServe immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. If desired, garnish with extra nutmeg on top!\nIs Nonalcoholic Eggnog safe to drink?\nThis is a concern that a lot of people have since traditionally eggnog is made with raw eggs. But in this recipe, we are cooking the eggs which make this eggnog safe to drink. N\normally eggnog is cooked with alcohol which acts as a preservative in the recipe. Since we don’t have that, we want it to be safe!\nMaking Eggnog Ahead of Time\nIf you want to serve this non-alcoholic eggnog at a party then you can make it ahead of time and have it ready to go in the fridge. Just make sure that you don’t make it\ntoo\nfar ahead.

If you have milk, cream, sugar, and eggs then you can have this eggnog ready in 20 minutes\! If you are looking for more holiday drinks then you should try out this [root beer,](https://therecipecritic.com/homemade-root-beer/) [cranberry orange punch](https://therecipecritic.com/christmas-punch/), or this delicious and easy [wassail](https://therecipecritic.com/wassail/)! They are all SOO GOOD and perfect for any holiday party\! ![A glass of nonalcoholic eggnog. ](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/homemadeeggnog-667x1000.jpg) ![A glass of nonalcoholic eggnog. ](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/homemadeeggnog-667x1000.jpg) ## Eggnog for the Entire Family This eggnog doesn’t have any alcohol in it so it’s the perfect holiday [beverage](https://therecipecritic.com/slow-cooker-apple-cider-two-ways/) that your entire family can enjoy! Not only does it taste perfect for the holidays but is so easy to make. Trust me when I say that you need to ditch the store-bought cartons this holiday season and make your own eggnog at home. I mean, there’s nothing having eggnog while you cozy up on the couch by the tree\! Eggnog is a beverage that’s been around during the holidays for years! It’s usually made with some liquor, but we are sharing a nonalcoholic eggnog recipe with you today. It’s perfect to share with your whole family and it tastes absolutely amazing! Creamy, thick, and decadent from a dash of vanilla and nutmeg. This is pure joy in a glass! You can also use this recipe in your holiday baking like in this [fudge](https://therecipecritic.com/eggnog-fudge/) or in these [cookies](https://therecipecritic.com/eggnog-cookies/). ## Ingredients You Need to Make Nonalcoholic Eggnog This recipe only uses six ingredients! That’s right, only six. And I’m guessing that you already have these in your kitchen! Especially around the holidays. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements. - Egg yolks: In this recipe I cook the eggs to avoid any chances of bacteria. - Sugar: This sweetens up the taste. - Milk and Heavy Cream: These act as the base for the eggnog and give it that creamy taste\! - Vanilla Extract: This enhances the sweet flavors in the recipe. - Nutmeg: Is it even a holiday treat if you don’t use nutmeg?? ## Let’s Make Some (Nonalcoholic) Eggnog\! This eggnog is thick and creamy and utterly delicious! You will never go back to store-bought eggnog again! Some eggnog recipes also ask you to fold in egg whites at the end, but since we are cooking our eggs here, that’s not necessary. You can use the egg whites to make meringues or egg white omelets. 1. Separate eggs: Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl. The whites can be placed in another bowl, covered and refrigerated. You can use them later in another recipe if you want\! 2. Add sugar and blend: Add sugar to the yolks and use a hand blender or whisk to whisk them together till pale and creamy. 3. Heat milk and add eggs: Heat milk and cream in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure to add the milk mixture in a thin, steady stream so that you don’t scramble the eggs. Whisk continuously until all the milk is whisked in. 4. Cook and add vanilla and nutmeg: Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook on medium heat till the eggnog thickens to your desired consistency. Keep stirring as it heats to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Whisk in the vanilla and nutmeg. 5. Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. If desired, garnish with extra nutmeg on top\! ![](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/eggnoghowto-1000x1000.png) ![](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/eggnoghowto-1000x1000.png) ## Is Nonalcoholic Eggnog safe to drink? This is a concern that a lot of people have since traditionally eggnog is made with raw eggs. But in this recipe, we are cooking the eggs which make this eggnog safe to drink. Normally eggnog is cooked with alcohol which acts as a preservative in the recipe. Since we don’t have that, we want it to be safe\! ![Eggnog in a glass garnished with nutmeg.](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/image-4.jpeg) ![Eggnog in a glass garnished with nutmeg.](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/image-4.jpeg) ### Making Eggnog Ahead of Time If you want to serve this non-alcoholic eggnog at a party then you can make it ahead of time and have it ready to go in the fridge. Just make sure that you don’t make it too far ahead. This only lasts in your fridge for 3 days\! ## More Eggnog Recipes to Try If you have a love for eggnog like I do then these are some MUST TRY recipes for the holiday season! And making this classic eggnog recipe first is great because then you can use it in all of these recipes and be ahead of the game! Try on or try them all… You can’t go wrong\!

As the recipe sits, it doesn’t say when to add the vanilla or how log to heat the milk. That being said, you add something too hot to the eggs and it will cook the eggs, but I was following the instructions exactly for someone who has never made eggnog. ![](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/about-alyssa-cropped-edited.jpg) ![](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/about-alyssa-cropped-edited.jpg) Meet Alyssa Alyssa Rivers is the author of 'The Tried and True Cookbook', a professional food photographer and experienced recipe-developer.

You can also use this recipe in your holiday baking like in this [fudge](https://therecipecritic.com/eggnog-fudge/) or in these [cookies](https://therecipecritic.com/eggnog-cookies/). ## Ingredients You Need to Make Nonalcoholic Eggnog This recipe only uses six ingredients! That’s right, only six. And I’m guessing that you already have these in your kitchen! Especially around the holidays. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements. - Egg yolks: In this recipe I cook the eggs to avoid any chances of bacteria. - Sugar: This sweetens up the taste. - Milk and Heavy Cream: These act as the base for the eggnog and give it that creamy taste\! - Vanilla Extract: This enhances the sweet flavors in the recipe. - Nutmeg: Is it even a holiday treat if you don’t use nutmeg?? ## Let’s Make Some (Nonalcoholic) Eggnog\! This eggnog is thick and creamy and utterly delicious! You will never go back to store-bought eggnog again! Some eggnog recipes also ask you to fold in egg whites at the end, but since we are cooking our eggs here, that’s not necessary. You can use the egg whites to make meringues or egg white omelets. 1. Separate eggs: Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl. The whites can be placed in another bowl, covered and refrigerated. You can use them later in another recipe if you want\! 2. Add sugar and blend: Add sugar to the yolks and use a hand blender or whisk to whisk them together till pale and creamy. 3. Heat milk and add eggs: Heat milk and cream in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure to add the milk mixture in a thin, steady stream so that you don’t scramble the eggs. Whisk continuously until all the milk is whisked in. 4. Cook and add vanilla and nutmeg: Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook on medium heat till the eggnog thickens to your desired consistency. Keep stirring as it heats to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Whisk in the vanilla and nutmeg. 5. Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. If desired, garnish with extra nutmeg on top\! ![](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/eggnoghowto-1000x1000.png) ## Is Nonalcoholic Eggnog safe to drink? This is a concern that a lot of people have since traditionally eggnog is made with raw eggs. But in this recipe, we are cooking the eggs which make this eggnog safe to drink. Normally eggnog is cooked with alcohol which acts as a preservative in the recipe. Since we don’t have that, we want it to be safe\! ![Eggnog in a glass garnished with nutmeg.](https://therecipecritic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/image-4.jpeg) ### Making Eggnog Ahead of Time If you want to serve this non-alcoholic eggnog at a party then you can make it ahead of time and have it ready to go in the fridge.
