Easiest Homemade Eggnog
My Homemade Eggnog is a velvety blend of fresh, low-fat milk and golden egg yolks, sweetened with sugar and infused with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A splash of brandy (or rum or bourbon) adds a festive kick, while a sprinkle of nutmeg on top completes this creamy holiday indulgence.

Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups low-fat milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup brandy
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 dash nutmeg ground
- 1 dash cinnamon ground
Instructions
- Blend milk, eggs, sugar, brandy, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. (or not! I often serve immediately, then refrigerate the remaining until seconds are requested.)
Notes
- The main reason to refrigerate is to let the bubbles (or froth) settle down and the flavors to meld a bit.
- Also, I almost always pasteurize my eggs before using them in any recipe that calls for raw eggs. See my “Sous Vide Pasteurized Eggs” recipe for instructions on how to do this. It’s super easy.
