Time 20m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups white sugar
¾ cup butter
⅔ cup eggnog
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream

CHRISTMAS CREAMY EGGNOG



Christmas Creamy Eggnog image

This rich and creamy drink was especially designed for cold Christmas nights.

Provided by sal

Categories     Drinks Recipes     Eggnog Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 egg yolks
1 (5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ½ cups milk
4 egg whites
1 fluid ounce rum
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until they are thickened and light. Gradually stir in condensed milk, sugar, vanilla and milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then add them to the milk mixture. Stir rum into the mixture (to taste). Garnish with nutmeg.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 225.5 calories, Carbohydrate 28.2 g, Cholesterol 27.1 mg, Fat 6.8 g, Fiber 0 g, Protein 9.5 g, SaturatedFat 4.3 g, Sodium 125.8 mg, Sugar 28.2 g

Tips:

  • Choose fresh eggs. The fresher the eggs, the better the eggnog will taste. Look for eggs that are free-range and organic, if possible.
  • Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give the eggnog a richer flavor and texture. If you use skim milk, the eggnog will be thin and watery.
  • Sweeten the eggnog to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the eggnog. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Grate the nutmeg fresh. Freshly grated nutmeg has a much more intense flavor than pre-ground nutmeg. If you don't have a nutmeg grater, you can use a microplane zester.
  • Chill the eggnog before serving. Chilled eggnog is more refreshing and flavorful. You can chill the eggnog for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the eggnog with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon sticks. This will make the eggnog look and taste even more festive.

Conclusion:

Creamy eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your eggnog thick or thin, sweet or tart, there is a recipe out there for you. So gather your ingredients and get ready to make some creamy eggnog! You won't regret it.
