Eggnog is a delicious traditional holiday drink, best made fresh and served immediately! This recipe makes a fabulously rich, tasty fresh eggnog you can whip up in minutes.
Not an Eggnog fan? Making it fresh will change your mind. Commercial versions have almost ruined its reputation - they're all pasteurized (cooked), too sweet, and full of artificial thickening agents. Yuck. Do it right, and learn why people liked eggnog in the first place! Here are testimonials from newly-reformed anti-eggnoggers:
*"I thought eggnog was gross, but this stuff rocks\!**"* \- [scoochmaroo](https://www.instructables.com/member/scoochmaroo)
*"**Wow.** Can I have some more?"* - [rachel](https://www.instructables.com/member/rachel)
This is eggnog in its pure form - fresh eggs, cream, and a bit of sugar and seasoning. It's excellent as-is, but can be spiked with rum, brandy, or bourbon to ward off the winter chill. I prefer the non-alcoholic version, as it allows the subtle flavors to really shine.
**Notes:**
- Don't substitute low-fat dairy - this is a holiday extravagance, so live it up. Serve in small glasses if you're worried about the calories, and go for an extra jog.
- Yes, we're using raw eggs. If you want to be paranoid, wash the shells before cracking the eggs; there's only a 1:20,000 chance of salmonella *inside* the egg. But you probably still shouldn't drink raw eggnog if you're immunocompromised. If you've ever eaten raw cookie dough, quit worrying and try the eggnog\!
## Step 1: Tools and Ingredients

[](https://content.instructables.com/FFX/FNCT/G1ZGOS2O/FFXFNCTG1ZGOS2O.jpg)
6 eggs at room temperature, separated
3/4 cup sugar (for the yolks)
6 Tablespoons sugar (for the whites)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (use the good stuff, and/or make your own)
fresh grated nutmeg
3 cups whipping cream, chilled
2 cups whole milk
*optional:*
1 cup brandy or rum
1 1/3 cups bourbon
large bowl (~ gallon-sized)
wire whisk
[Microplane grater](http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40001-Stainless-Steel-Zester/dp/B00004S7V7)/zester
mixer (hand or stand type - just so long as it's motorized!)
small punch cups, margarita glasses, teacups, wine glasses, or other fancy-looking festive vessels
For single-serving size (one egg), divide everything else by 6. That means:
1 egg
2 Tablespoons sugar (for the yolk)
1 Tablespoon sugar (for the white)
a drop of vanilla
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup milk
## Step 2: Separate Eggs

[](https://content.instructables.com/FQD/X5NZ/G1ZGKILS/FQDX5NZG1ZGKILS.jpg)
Separate the eggs.
Put the yolks in your big bowl, the whites in the electric mixer bowl\*.
\* Make sure the bowl is clean and dry, with no oil residue - grease of any sort can interfere with proper egg white whipping.
## Step 3: Prep Yolks

Mix the yolks vigorously with the wire whisk for about a minute - they will turn much lighter yellow.
Whisk in 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, whisking steadily. Grate\* in a bit of nutmeg\*\* (gently - you can always add more later, and fresh nutmeg can be powerful), then add 3 cups cream and 2 cups milk (and the booze, if you're using it) and whisk a bit more. Everything should be thoroughly incorporated.
\* I grate nutmeg with a [Microplane grater](http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40001-Stainless-Steel-Zester/dp/B00004S7V7) - it's excellent.
\*\* Use whole nutmeg, not the pre-ground. This is the primary flavoring in your eggnog, so it should be the good stuff. Whole nutmegs can be bought in the spice section at your local grocery, and they last far longer than ground nutmeg.
## Step 4: Prep Egg Whites

[](https://content.instructables.com/FQD/X5NZ/G1ZGKILS/FQDX5NZG1ZGKILS.jpg)

Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks - this is exactly why we have robots in the kitchen. (It will take ~3-5 minutes, even longer if you're crazy enough to try whisking it by hand.)
Add 6T sugar, one tablespoon at a time, as the mixer runs. Continue beating until the mixture forms stiff peaks, but still looks moist (another 2-4 minutes). See the last picture to see how stiff the mixture is as I scoop it out of the mixing bowl.
## Step 5: Combine

[](https://content.instructables.com/FTP/VC5Q/G1ZGGZJZ/FTPVC5QG1ZGGZJZ.jpg)
View 3 more images
Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk/cream mixture with a spatula.
Scrape the egg whites out of the bowl with your rubber spatula, and use a gentle sweeping motion to incorporate the whites to save all the air you just beat into them. (If you whisk them in all of that nice fluffiness will be lost.) You should still have some small blobs of unincorporated eggwhite (see last picture), and if the mixture is allowed to sit it will separate.
## Step 6: Serve

Ladle out the eggnog into your fancy cups, and top with a bit more freshly grated nutmeg.
If the eggnog has separated, give it a quick (gentle!) stir before serving. Don't let the eggnog sit out too long - even if it does have alcohol, refrigerate to avoid spoilage. I've never had this problem: we always drink it so fast there's nothing left to worry about! Thankfully it's fast to make more, because you'll never be able to drink the commercial stuff again.
Happy Holidays, and enjoy your eggnog\!

It's more heavily sweetened to accommodate the vast quantities of alcohol. When not spiking it, I usually tone down the sugar about 1/3.

Put your metal bowl and beaters in the freezer for ten minutes or so before whipping your eggs...it helps get them whipped up

much better than the store brand! ive made it thrice now and have made a few ammendments to suit my familys taste - 1tbsp less sugar to the whites, and 3 extra cups of milk (they werent fond of the delicious thickness of the original mix, shame because it was wonderful ) and substituted nutmeg for cinnamon. extra vanilla/cinnamon to taste due to being milked down, but still fantastic! thank you for this incredible recipe!!

I used brown sugar instead of white, and it didn't come out clumpy. Is this because of the sugar, or because it's my first try?

The brown sugar. It has molasses in it, which changes up the chemistry a bit and makes it much harder to whip the whites. If using brown sugar, you could whip some of the cream too/instead.

This will be the 4th year I've used this recipe. Getting the whites to whip up is always the hard part. I've read it's best not to use a plastic bowle. I prefer mine with a little spice rum.

Good recipe, tasty nogg! I couldn't get the egg whites to whip near as fluffy as the pics show...maybe it's the Oklahoma climate. :)
We don't do rum in our nogg....I added extra vanilla and some cinnamon, and really woke up the flavor. Even my wife prefers the "doctored" version, and she normally doesn't like cinnamon.

WOW! looks different...no argument there...
a while back I made some eggnog...but I sure do not remember using egg whites, or heavy creme...
not saying this is bad, just different. :)
Then again, I made mine in a blender.....it was more like what you find in the store but without all the extra governmental garbage (no preservatives, no fillers/thickeners, etc).
TY for sharing!! :)

Good recipe for a crowd. I'm sure you're on all the holiday party lists with this one! I make my own with a Braun hand blender: 2 eggs, cream, real vanilla, Splenda to cut back on carbs and fresh nutmeg. Whip the egg whites, whip the cream, cream the Splenda and vanilla into the yolks and fold it all together. Top with a fresh scraping of nutmeg and sit down to a mug of heaven, sometimes with a bit of dark rum. Yum.
Also, I can buy eggs pasturized in the shell at my grocer now, so I can share it with everyone without worrying about salmonella or any other nasty bugs. YAY!
Maybe that was in one or more of your almost 200 comments, but I love fresh eggnog and it's soooo easy with a hand blender! Cheers\!

THANKS FOR SHARING!! I just made the single serve, but i changed it up a bit. i used what i had but i substituted milk for the heavy cream, and i didnt wisk the whites until it was not a stiff fluffy like you did but a more liquidy fluffy. I then put some nutmeg, Ginger, and Cinnamon in it and wisked it for 15 seconds. it turned out alright and tastes fantastic!\!

your hens eggs will be a lot fresher if anything. I don't know why not. And yes, nutmeg in very large doses is a halucinagen, and possible abortion aid. look on wikipedia. I have heard that farm fresh eggs don't cook the same way, and need to be aged. I have never had a not from store egg though.

You can't actually get high, but if you eat too much nutmeg you'll have hallucinations right before you die from poisoning

Farm fresh eggs absolutely cook differently than store bought eggs, but that is what makes them superior. I've been told by a friend who works in the egg industry that the typical egg is FOUR weeks old by the time it reaches the grocery store shelf, so that definitely affects how it cooks.
Generally when you crack a store bought egg into a frying pan for a fried egg, the white runs quickly and spreads in a thin layer, while the yolk flattens out. With a fresh egg, it lands in the pan in a discrete blob of egg white around a nice bulging yolk, and stays that way even after it's flipped.
When we had chickens, my mom started making angel food cake from scratch again, because the whites from the fresh eggs gave the cake the lightness and height she couldn't get from store bought eggs. She also got much better results with meringue made from the fresh eggs.
Farm fresh eggs usually have a different flavor (better, in my opinion) than store bought eggs. This has more to do with the feed, but freshness is also a factor. Our chickens were free range, and while we fed them a commercial feed with no artificial additives, they also ate a wide variety of plants, as well as bugs and worms. This variety in their diet gave the eggs a more robust taste. Think of the difference between store bought white bread and home made bread, and you'll have an idea what I mean.
Most people have never had the opportunity to have a farm fresh egg in our industrialized society, so they don't know what they're missing. If you have a chance to get some farm fresh eggs, maybe on a drive in the country when you pass a "fresh eggs for sale" sign, give them a try! You might find yourself hooked on fresh\!

Thank you, not only for your cooking advice and recommendation of farm-fresh eggs, but for your spelling. You even nailed "discrete". Seems like a small thing, but when you spend as much time online as I do, good spelling is quite literally a sight for sore eyes and an aching brain\!
