EggNog Anyone?
At our house, New Years celebrations always included EggNog.
My Father insisted he put a little Jack Daniels in the adult versions but the kids were allowed straight EggNog!
I have to confess that I originally loved EggNog….but as I grew older, I became more concerned with raw eggs.
However, with today’s pasteurization…that should not be a concern I am told.
I have two recipes below…one with out eggs and one using the store bought EggNog with all its pasteurization.
If you like EggNog, try one of these recipes and see if it doesn’t give a little zip to your New Years Celebration.
Just remember to drink responsibly…well, these EggNog recipes won’t get you into any trouble! 🙂
It is getting closer to the New Year…..I can’t believe it is almost 2015!

- 6 c. almond milk,(I use Silk Almond Milk, unsweetened)
- 1 (1 oz.) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
- 2 T. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg (I hardly ever use the ground spice when I can grate just what I need from a whole nutmeg.)
- Combine milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a bowl or pitcher.
- Slowly add the pudding powder, whisking constantly.(you may use a hand mixer, but do not overmix or you will have pudding! 🙂
- Refrigerate for about an hour before serving to allow the eggnog to thicken a bit.
- Add cool whip or Reddi whip and sprinkle each serving with additional fresh nutmeg.
- You may also use skim milk or cashew milk.
- 1 quart eggnog
- 3/4 c. white chocolate chips
- 1/3 c. crushed candy canes
