1 Cup Evaporated Milk (skim if you are dieting)
1/2 Cup Dark Rum
Fresh Ground Nutmeg

Bring the ice cream to room temperature and when melted whisk with evaporated milk and rum.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with nutmeg!

MmmmMmmmmMmm-This one sounds good! And SIMPLE!

I've tasted many eggnog recipes, some with eggs some without. Brandy, Apricot Brandy, Mmmmmmm...


My mom used to make eggnog for us as kids. A couple raw eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, in a blender...................OMG! RAW EGGS! AND WE ARE ALL STILL ALIVE!?!?!?!?

Yep, it's true, we lived through raw eggs.

Now, I won't be able to get to the scanner until morning, but I have an original handwritten recipe from my first real boss at a little cafe where I started as a dishwasher on Saturdays.

Hubby is not an eggnog fan, :(

Put ice cream in freezer... Evaporated milk in pantry. Throw nutmeg over left shoulder and drink the rum.

Repeat as necessary.

Cypress' recipe is very good have used that many many times.

This one...way more work...but very nice:

1 dz. eggs
1 C. sugar (if you can find Superfine, it's worth it)
! 1/2 qts. milk
I pint heavy cream, whipped
1 bottle cognac

Separate eggs. Beat yolks untiil light in a large bowl. Continue beating while adding sugar. Stir in milk and cream. Slwly stir in cognac. At this point add more sugar if more sweetness desired. Cover an refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Before serving beat egg whites until stiff, fold into the refrigerated mixture. Dust with nutmeg.

lingililingili - 11-29-2009 at 12:18 PM

Dennis: Love Rompope, always have a bottle at the house.

Oldlady: Yum!!!!

real eggnog

bonanzapilot - 11-29-2009 at 12:22 PM

Eggnog for 8
1/2 gal. 4% milk
6 eggs
8 rounded tablespoons white sugar (or to taste)
1 oz Tuaca
sprinkle of nutmeg
separate your eggs, and whip whites into soft peaks. Season this with another T of sugar and a few drops of good Mexican vanilla. Mix milk, egg yolks, sugar and Tuaca in a blender for about 3 minutes until very smooth and frothy. Put in a pitcher, and top with eggwhites, sprinkle with nutmeg. To serve, add a shot of the drinkers favorite beverage, brandy, bourbon, to the cup, and top off with eggnog. Great tasting, and good for those who do not drink alcohol...just don't add any more!

I'm with Dennis.
Rompope is a good eggnog substitute. It's very similar to the lady holiday drink in the Netherlands. The best brand I found was Santa Clara. Very good and no work. Just add rum, brandy, bourbon, scotch or vodka, ......or all of the above.:biggrin::biggrin:

O.K., here we are making REAL nutmeg > also called Egg-Liquor

12 eggs > yellow only
500 grams powder sugar > no other!
2 tbsp. vanilla sugar
1can evaporated milk (Nestle)
stretch to your taste w/ evapoareted 10% canned milk
1/2 cup everclear (more if you like, but it's getting out of taste)
beat all that w/ a handmixer for 10 min on high speed
fill in a glass bottle and put tinto fridge.
let it rest for 2 days.
before cosuming, take the bottle out of the fridge to make it more liquid / more tasty. the fridge makes it 'clamsy' shake well !!!
After use, back into fridge to keep it cool.

Bloody-Absess:
poor some redwine (dry! no sweet one) into a glass and then some of the above egg-liquor into the redwine > don't shake - don't stir (don't play James Bond) the egg-liquor goes to the bottom >> but it's really good!
:cool::cool::cool:
