Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Optional: Rum or bourbon
- optional Cinnamon sticks or whipped cream (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook for about 8–10 minutes. The mixture should slightly thicken but not come to a boil.
Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and optional rum or bourbon, if using.
Pour the eggless eggnog into a heatproof pitcher or container and allow it to cool to your desired serving temperature, either warm or chilled. For chilled eggnog, refrigerate until cold, about 2–3 hours.
Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Serve in glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, whipped cream, or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
