What is traditional eggnog?

Eggnog is a milk-based beverage, often called “milk punch,” and is one of the most common holiday drinks during Winter. It is rich, creamy, and custard-based with the addition of cream and eggs. It is seasoned with spices and sometimes spiked with alcohol~typically rum.

Do you serve eggnog hot or cold?

Typically, eggnog is served cold, but it can be enjoyed warm as well. It can be heated straight from the refrigerator and served just like hot cocoa. Topped with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, it will warm both bodies and hearts after a long day in the snow.

What does eggnog taste like?

Eggnog tastes very much like custard, and its thick consistency comes from milk and heavy whipping cream. It is sweet, rich, and spicy with notes of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. If rum is added, it will have an alcoholic flavor as well.

Can you make eggnog without eggs?

Technically, most if not all eggnog contains egg yolks or egg whites; however, you can make an egg-free milk punch that tastes as good, creamy, spicy, and delicious as traditional eggnog. My recipe is delicious, and it has NO EGGS!!!

Why make egg free eggnog?

Personally, I have an aversion to any recipe containing raw or uncooked eggs. Even though pasteurized eggs are unlikely to cause food poisoning, I am not willing to risk it. Not only that, but I don’t like the thought of consuming raw eggs, much less drinking them! This homemade egg free eggnog recipe is so rich and delicious, no one will miss the eggs one bit!!!

How do you make egg-free eggnog taste like eggnog?

There are several ingredients and tips for making homemade egg-free eggnog that is creamy and rich like traditional eggnog. Here are the most important things.

  • French vanilla instant pudding is KEY! It adds thickness and a “custard” flavor.
  • Whole milk will yield the best results, but 2% will work also (just won’t be as thick).
  • Nutmeg, allspice, and ginger give the traditional eggnog flavor. Rum is optional.
  • Blending in a blender breaks up the pudding and disperses it well with the other ingredients.
  • Chilling in the fridge for at least one hour allows flavors to “set” and eggnog to thicken.
