Non-Alcoholic Eggnog Mocktail Recipe
I'm excited to share a delicious recipe for a non-alcoholic eggnog mocktail! This creamy and spiced drink is perfect for family gatherings and holiday celebrations. Let's dive into the details so you can start mixing up this festive treat! π
Equipment
- These include a blender for mixing everything smoothly.
- It's important to have a mixing bowl too. Also, a whisk will help in blending the ingredients well.
- For measuring, I use measuring cups and spoons.
- Finally, grab a pitcher to serve our delicious eggnog.
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make the mocktail:
- 3 cups milk use any kind you like
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Β½ cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Β½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ΒΌ tsp ground cinnamon
These ingredients create a rich and creamy mocktail. And, don't forget the nutmeg and cinnamon for that special holiday flavor. π
Instructions
Let's get started!
- First, in a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is smooth.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream until it's steaming, but not boiling.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly. This step prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly.
- Pour this blend back into the saucepan and heat gently until it thickens.
- Add the vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then stir well.
- Finally, refrigerate until it's cold, then serve in glasses with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can be made ahead by a day. Just refrigerate and serve when you're ready. If you want a lighter version, you can swap out heavy cream for whole milk.
