This classic stovetop version comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients \u2014 eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and a few warm spices \u2014 which are all gently heated until thickened into a custard-like base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is rich without being heavy, sweet without being too cloying, and perfectly delicious served either chilled or warm. Enjoy it plain, spike it with bourbon or rum, top it with whipped cream, or finish each glass with a festive dusting of nutmeg. However you serve it, this homemade eggnog is guaranteed to bring a little extra holiday magic to the season!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<!--more-->\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/eggnog\/?tp_image_id=91468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-1-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-eggnog-tips\">Eggnog Tips<\/h2>\n\n<p>Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your homemade eggnog turns out perfectly every time:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Warm gently and don\u2019t boil.<\/strong> Keep the milk and cream mixture just below a simmer. Boiling can cause the dairy to separate or the spices to become bitter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whisk constantly when tempering.<\/strong> Adding the warm milk too quickly can scramble the yolks. Slow and steady is the name of the game!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use an instant-read thermometer.<\/strong> Eggnog thickens quickly, and you want to pull it from the heat right at 160\u2013165\u00b0F for the safest, silkiest texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strain for extra smoothness.<\/strong> If you want an ultra-velvety finish, pour the finished mixture through a fine-mesh strainer before chilling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chill fully before serving.<\/strong> Eggnog thickens as it cools, so give it at least 2\u20133 hours in the fridge (or overnight!) for the best texture and flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust the sweetness.<\/strong> Feel free to add a splash more milk at the end if you prefer a lighter, less sweet drink \u2014 or extra sugar in the yolk mixture for a sweeter sip.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2063\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/eggnog\/?tp_image_id=91469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4-1100x1630.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4-768x1138.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4-1036x1536.jpg 1036w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-4-400x593.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-eggnog-variations\">Eggnog Variations<\/h2>\n\n<p>Try customizing your homemade eggnog with any of these delicious twists:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Maple eggnog:<\/strong> Replace half of the sugar with pure maple syrup for a rich, caramelly flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spiked eggnog:<\/strong> Stir in 1 cup of bourbon, dark rum, brandy, or try a combo for extra depth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coffee eggnog:<\/strong> Add a shot or two of espresso to make this an eggnog latte.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peppermint eggnog:<\/strong> Add \u00bc teaspoon of peppermint extract and top with crushed candy canes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra-spiced eggnog:<\/strong> Double up on the cinnamon and nutmeg, or add a pinch of cloves, allspice or cardamom for extra warmth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/eggnog\/?tp_image_id=91470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1-1100x1650.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Eggnog-10-1-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block is-style-open\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763141517581\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">can i make this eggnog ahead of time?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! Eggnog tastes even better after a night in the fridge. You can make it up to 2\u20133 days in advance.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763141930450\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">is this safe to drink with raw eggs?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This version is cooked to 160\u2013165\u00b0F, which gently pasteurizes the yolks and makes the eggnog safe to drink.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1763141955872\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">how thick should eggnog be?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It should lightly coat the back of a spoon when warm, then thicken more as it chills.

For the richest, most traditional texture, I&#8217;d recommend using a mix of canned coconut milks \u2014 about 2 cups of light coconut milk plus 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk \u2014 which will create a creamy, custard-like base. If you prefer a lighter option, oat milk, cashew milk, or almond milk all work well, though you may want to whisk 1\u20132 tablespoons of cornstarch into the cold milk to help it thicken like classic eggnog.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2088\"

For the richest, most traditional texture, I'd recommend using a mix of canned coconut milks \u2014 about 2 cups of light coconut milk plus 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk \u2014 which will create a creamy, custard-like base. If you prefer a lighter option, oat milk, cashew milk, or almond milk all work well, though you may want to whisk 1\u20132 tablespoons of cornstarch into the cold milk to help it thicken like classic eggnog.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91459"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91491,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91459\/revisions\/91491"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91459"},{"taxonomy":"cultivate_rss","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cultivate_rss?post=91459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
