Why This Recipe Works
Alcohol-Free
: I made an alcohol-free version of eggnog so that everyone can join in the festive cheer! If you prefer, you can add a dash of alcohol to your serving. But I definitely think that this easy homemade eggnog is the best version of eggnog I have ever had!
Festive Flavors
: Eggnog is a nostalgic holiday classic that I absolutely have to have every year. I know you can buy eggnog at the store, but homemade eggnog just hits different!

Easy Homemade Eggnog Recipe
Ingredients
Milk
: I use a combination of milk and heavy cream in my eggnog recipe. I found that 2% milk works great, but really any milk will do!
Nutmeg & Cinnamon
: These warming spices make this eggnog taste super festive! Sprinkle some extra on top when serving! If you prefer, you can use freshly grated nutmeg, but I always have dried nutmeg on hand, so I used that.
Expert Tips
Don’t skip the chilling time!
This easy homemade eggnog tastes best when it has been chilled. It will take at least 4 hours for it to be fully chilled, but I prefer to chill it overnight to serve it the next day!
Serve each cup of eggnog
with a dash of nutmeg on top. You can add a little dash of cinnamon too, if you’d like! A dollop of whipped cream is also lovely on top.
Store your fresh eggnog
in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 3 days!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is traditional eggnog made of?
Traditional eggnog is made of eggs, egg yolks, milk, sugar, cream, vanilla and some sort of liquor. Usually it is rum or brandy or maybe a combination! This nonalcoholic eggnog recipe is similar to traditional eggnog, without the added alcohol.
Can I make eggnog without having to cook it?
Technically, yes. However, making an alcoholic-free version without cooking it is not advised. Eggnog is traditionally made from raw eggs and the alcohol in the drink helps to sterilize and kill any bacteria from the raw eggs. While you can use pasteurized eggs in this recipe and it be safe the drink with raw eggs, I don’t think it tastes best this way. I recommend following the method of slowly heating the cream and eggs together so that this is perfectly safe and super creamy!

Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, 3/4 tsp of the nutmeg and the cinnamon.
Chill for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, reserving the remaining 1/4 tsp of nutmeg to sprinkle on top of each serving.

## Ingredients

- **Milk**: I use a combination of milk and heavy cream in my eggnog recipe. I found that 2% milk works great, but really any milk will do\!
- **Nutmeg & Cinnamon**: These warming spices make this eggnog taste super festive! Sprinkle some extra on top when serving! If you prefer, you can use freshly grated nutmeg, but I always have dried nutmeg on hand, so I used that.
## Expert Tips
- **Don’t skip the chilling time\!** This easy homemade eggnog tastes best when it has been chilled. It will take at least 4 hours for it to be fully chilled, but I prefer to chill it overnight to serve it the next day\!
- **Serve each cup of eggnog** with a dash of nutmeg on top. You can add a little dash of cinnamon too, if you’d like! A dollop of whipped cream is also lovely on top.
- **Store your fresh eggnog** in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 3 days\!

## Frequently Asked Questions
**What is traditional eggnog made of?**
Traditional eggnog is made of eggs, egg yolks, milk, sugar, cream, vanilla and some sort of liquor. Usually it is rum or brandy or maybe a combination! This nonalcoholic eggnog recipe is similar to traditional eggnog, without the added alcohol.
**Can I make eggnog without having to cook it?**
Technically, yes. However, making an alcoholic-free version without cooking it is not advised. Eggnog is traditionally made from raw eggs and the alcohol in the drink helps to sterilize and kill any bacteria from the raw eggs. While you can use pasteurized eggs in this recipe and it be safe the drink with raw eggs, I don’t think it tastes best this way. I recommend following the method of slowly heating the cream and eggs together so that this is perfectly safe and super creamy\!

- Remove from the heat and whisk in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, 3/4 tsp of the nutmeg and the cinnamon.
