Ingredients

• 4 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based, e.g. almond or oat milk)
• 1 cup Heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Optional: Bourbon, rum, or brandy

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 8–10 minutes. Make sure it does not boil.

Step 4

Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and carefully stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream). Let it warm through for about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, add the optional alcohol at this stage.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust the sugar or spices as needed to suit your preferences.

Step 7

Let the eggnog cool slightly before transferring it to a pitcher or container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.

Step 8

Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Pour into glasses and garnish with a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
