Easy Eggless Eggnog has quickly become a favorite holiday drink at my house. My kids absolutely love eggnog and it is staple in our home around this time of year. I have seen homemade recipes for eggnog before, but was a little nervous to try a drink that you had to put actual eggs in and many of those recipes require a lot of cooking and stirring time as well.
For this homemade eggnog recipe, You only need a few basic ingredients for this version and after about 45 seconds in a blender, it is ready! It is better chilled, so allow for an hour or more in the refrigerator before serving. If the eggnog seems a little bit too thick when you are ready to serve, just add a little bit more milk and re-blend for a few seconds. I like to top mine off with a little bit of nutmeg, but I think a little dollop of whipped cream would look pretty on top too!
I will admit that I was a little bit skeptical about this recipe – I wasn’t sure it would actually taste anything like real eggnog. I was very surprised to find that it really does taste very close to the real thing! My kids actually think this version is better than actual eggnog, which is saying a lot because they have loved every eggnog they have tried. Anyone else done eggnog taste tests before with every single kind of eggnog you can find? Maybe that’s just my family. 😉

Whipping cream is easy to do, especially if you know a little trick! Use a metal bowl and freeze it for at least 30 minutes before whipping the cream. This cuts so much time from the process! Before I learned this trick, it would take 8-10 minutes of beating the cream before it would get stiff, but now it only takes 3-4 minutes!
Place the whipping cream in the bowl immediately after removing the bowl from the freezer. Use an electric mixer turned up fairly high to beat the whipped cream. The whipped cream is ready when stiff peaks form as you lift up the beaters.

Blend 2 cups milk, sugar, pudding mix, rum-flavored extract, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger in a blender on medium-high speed until smooth; pour into a pitcher. Stir remaining 3 cups milk into mixture. Refrigerate eggnog until thickened, at least 1 hour. Stir well before serving.
Is it time to update your eggnog recipes to avoid the risk of foodborne illness? Refrigerated eggs with clean, uncracked shells can still be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria.
If you are really looking to knock out some calories, consider purchasing soy nog or rice nog. These alternatives to regular eggnog contain less fat and nearly half the calories of regular store-bought eggnog. Vanilla chai tea is also a great holiday alternative for those with non-dairy diets.
Delicious. I've been drinking Almond Breeze Almond Nog as a replacement to regular Egg Nog that has a lot of sugar during winter season for several years. It has a lot of flavor, nutty but still sweet/ I also love it is plant based and healthy.
If you're vegan (or dairy-free or egg-free), traditional eggnog is off-limits. Luckily, lots of non-dairy milk companies have released their own holiday nog blends and the nutrition numbers look a little more impressive than the classic drink.
Whether you love or hate eggnog, there's no contesting the fact that drinking eggnog is a Christmas tradition that will not wane in the near future. People with food allergies or intolerances to dairy and egg can also be a part of this festive Christmas tradition with this dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free 'nog.
If a recipe calls for folding raw, beaten egg whites into the eggnog, use pasteurized eggs. It has not been proven that raw egg whites are free of Salmonella bacteria. If you purchase eggnog from your local grocery store, the eggnog has been prepared with pasteurized eggs. You do not need to cook it.
Traditionally made with eggs, cream, milk, and sugar, no one would say that eggnog is a healthy drink. Even a small serving can pack significant amounts of calories, fat, saturated fat, and added sugars. And then there's the fact that homemade eggnog made with raw eggs can be a food-poisoning risk.
Adding alcohol will inhibit bacterial growth, but it cannot be relied upon to kill bacteria. Once alcohol is diluted, it no longer effectively kills bacteria. You will still need to use pasteurized eggs. Keep in mind that simmering eggnog over heat will remove the alcohol.
"While culinary historians debate its exact lineage, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval" British drink called posset, which was made with hot milk that was curdled with wine or ale and flavored with spices. In the Middle Ages, posset was used as a cold and flu remedy.
Most plants keep producing eggnog through New Year's, and start dumping their unsold product in January. Although associated with the holidays, eggnog doesn't need to be seasonal. Dairy plants could produce small batches of eggnog off-season for hard-core nogheads, but they don't because it's not cost-effective.
Either way, the basic premise is to whisk egg yolks with sugar to increase the volume of the yolks and create a natural thickener.Milk and cream are then added along with cinnamon and nutmeg for the traditional flavor.
Best Eggnog to Spike: Southern Comfort Traditional Eggnog
It's worth noting that Southern Comfort also makes a vanilla flavored eggnog, but we found that version overpowering in its sweetness. If you're looking for a SoCo eggnog, go for the original.
While brandy is the most traditional alcohol to pair with eggnog, according to traditional recipes, you can also use a mixture of dark rum and Cognac. If you like your eggnog with more of a kick you can also add bourbon, but we recommend sticking to rum and Cognac to preserve the 'nog's flavors.
(What's the difference between eggnog and Holiday Nog? Eggnog must have a minimum 6 percent butterfat and a minimum 1 percent egg yolk by weight; Holiday Nog, which Spangler called a flavored milk product, has 2 percent butterfat and less than 1 percent egg yolk by weight.)
At its core, eggnog is an emulsion of milk and/or cream, sugar, and, yes, eggs. Unlike in an egg cream—a similar old-timey drink that actually gets its name from the foamy, whipped egg white-like texture achieved by mixing seltzer and dairy fat—the “egg” in eggnog is very, very real.
Can you hear the sleigh bells ringing? Just one sip of Califia's Holiday Nog Almond Milk and suddenly the holidays are right there in your home. This nog has no milk or eggs—in fact, it's soy, gluten, dairy, and carrageenan free!
