Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Optional: Rum or bourbon
• 0 optional Cinnamon sticks or whipped cream (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook for about 8–10 minutes. The mixture should slightly thicken but not come to a boil.

Step 3

Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and optional rum or bourbon, if using.

Step 5

Pour the eggless eggnog into a heatproof pitcher or container and allow it to cool to your desired serving temperature, either warm or chilled. For chilled eggnog, refrigerate until cold, about 2–3 hours.

Step 6

Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Serve in glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, whipped cream, or a cinnamon stick, if desired.
