Easiest Homemade Eggnog
Although I am not a big fan of eggnog, there are members of my crew that LOVE IT <insert eye roll>! And since you can’t find it except during the holidays but desire it throughout the year <insert another eye roll>; I developed a recipe that not only satisfies my crew but even I will drink it.
Ingredients:
2 beaten Eggs*
3 Tablespoons Sugar (or sweetener)
2.5 cups Milk (reg or low fat)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 sprinkling of nutmeg
Directions:
Whisk all ingredients together
Store in refrigerator for up to one week
This makes about 3-4 mugs depending on your mug or MUG size!

Eggnog French Toast

*This post does contain raw eggs. If you prefer to cook your eggs before using, just search for cooked eggnog recipes.

I loooooove eggnog and have never tried making it before. I like to cut back on all the junk ingredients that are in packaged foods so this is awesome, thanks for the recipe!
Jennifer Hiles says
I love eggnog but I have only bought it from the store. Making it myself sounds like much more fun. The picture sure looks delicious!
Mary Daley says

Hannah P says
I have been looking for an eggnog recipe! Will try this 🙂
Dorothy Hubbard says
With the price of eggnog at $4 and over a qt, this is a way to satisfy an expensive holiday tradition.
maureen says
How wonderful.
My husband absolutely lives for when eggnog is in “season”. He loves the stuff. I have never made homemade eggnog though. I just might have to do this to keep his taste buds going.
Suzanna says
I love eggnog, and buy it regularly. I didn’t realize it was so easy to make! I will try this
Melissa George says
Wow thats an amazing way to make eggnog. i alway end up buying expensive eggnog from the market and spending money. now i can easily make one at home and i like all the ingredients and i believe home made eggnogs are more fresh and pure than the canned ones.
Rebecca B says
I completely agree about the eggnog. I really don’t like it but my family will go for it any time. I’m all for finding a recipe that can be reproduced the rest of the year and it doesn’t have a lot of the yuck that anything on the store shelf usually does.
Angela A Simmons says
Pretty cool I always wondered how to make eggnog from scratch
sandra davis says
It is a great way to save money. Plus you can adjust it for your taste.
Deborah Dorris says
When I seen this post on eggnog I had to read the recipe. I had tried eggnog some years back, and I liked the taste. Recently I had been looking at recipes on eggnog because I wanted to see about making some but every recipe I looked at it called for some type alcohol in it, and I didn’t want one with alcohol; I have been free from alcohol/drinking for a little over two years. I am so glad to see this recipe. Thank you for this recipe; I am definitely going to try it.
Jane Metcalfe says
I will certainly have to try this!
Cheryl Rahkonen says
I do not drink eggnog but my son is visiting and he absolutely loves eggnog. I wil make this for him to surprise him. I do believe this recipe is easy enough for even me to make.
Ashley Bree Perez says
I will need to try this out!
Heather Swarthout says
I cannot go without eggnog during the holidays. Sadly, I’m pregnant so eating raw eggs is out of the question unless I find a recipe that makes it with them cooked.
Shannon says
I have never made homemade eggnog, thank you for sharing your recipe with us!!!!

Lynn C says
My boyfriend’s buying a lot of the Southern Comfort eggnog. I was relieved to find out it doesn’t have any alcohol in it, but it would be even better if we could make it ourselves instead of paying through the nose. Thanks for this!
KATHARINE COOKMAN says

Christy Caldwell says
You can make your own eggnog!? Thanks for sharing this. I love eggnog and I just may be able to pull this off.
Sherryl Wilson says
This has to be the easiest way to make your own and make a small amount at one time.
Sara {Frugal Mama & The Sprout} says
I was just at the store reading the ingredients for eggnog… Just let me say, I won’t be buying premade… Yuck! Thank you for the recipe, perfect timing!

This is by far the easiest and I like being able to make a small amount as needed. We never finish the large container from the store.

Marti Tabora says
This does seem pretty easy to make, I think I will give it a try.
Tamra Phelps says
I’ve never been able to even bring myself to try eggnog, lol. Raw eggs just don’t do it for me! How on Earth do you make eggnog with cooked eggs??? That’s new to me!
Sherryl Wilson says
There are several recipes that require cooking. It’s not like you are scrambling them, just heating enough to sterilize them.
AwayGirl100 says
I have never been a big fan of Egg Nog and always thought it was a hard recipe to make, after reading this and how easy it is..maybe i will give it another try! ty for the recipe!!
