Ingredients

Scale

Eggnog Base

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)

Alcohol & Spices

  • ⅓ cup brandy or bourbon
  • ⅓ cup rum
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend eggs and maple syrup: Add the eggs and maple syrup to a high-powered blender and blend for exactly 4 minutes on high speed. Use a timer to ensure precise timing for safety and consistency.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Pour in the milk, heavy cream, brandy, rum, and nutmeg. Blend again for 10 seconds on high speed just to combine everything smoothly.
  3. Chill: Transfer the eggnog into an airtight container and refrigerate until it is thoroughly chilled. This cooling step enhances the flavors and texture.
  4. Serve: Before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir. Pour into glasses and garnish with cinnamon sticks or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top for a festive touch.
