We have made this eggnog recipe twice in the past week. It is so good! So rich and creamy! And, not overly sweet. The only problem? It runs out too fast! :)
Eggnog Recipe
6 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 c. sugar
4 c. whole milk
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 T. vanilla flavoring
1/2 c. whipping cream
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan whisk eggs and egg yolks until very smooth. Add sugar, whisk until smooth. While whisking, slowly add milk in a steady stream. Stir in salt and nutmeg.
Over the lowest heat on your stovetop, heat the custard until 160° F. This will take 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Pour custard through a strainer to filter out any cooked egg bits. Add vanilla flavoring. Place in refrigerator and chill 3 hours to overnight.
Before serving; whip cream and stir into eggnog.
Serve with extra nutmeg sprinkled over each glass/mug.
Enjoy!

I love eggnog!! it is one of my favorite winter drinks. I used to make some using a recipe from Taste of Home, called "Holiday Eggnog." This recipe sounds almost identical to it. Also, recently I bought some eggnog from Aldi, it tastes really good, but is quite expensive. :) I think I'll make some homemade again. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Thank you for the comment, Amy! I feel the same way: eggnog is such a special treat! Even making it from scratch uses some pricey ingredients. Mr. In The Mid-west found this recipe online and bought the ingredients because he really wanted some eggnog. I have been wanting a go-to eggnog recipe. I am glad this recipe that he picked out is the right one. It is definitely my go-to eggnog recipe now! :)
It has been so long since I've had homemade eggnog...brings back a lot of good memories! :) I should make some of this for New Year's day. :) Thank you for sharing!
