This quick and creamy homemade eggnog recipe can be prepared in just 5 minutes using simple ingredients like eggs, maple syrup, milk, cream, and rum. Perfectly spiced with nutmeg and garnished with cinnamon, this rich and delightful holiday beverage can be easily made dairy or dairy-free to suit your preference.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes plus chilling time
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Eggnog Base

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup

      • Dairy & Liquids

      • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or dairy-free)
      • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
      • ⅓ cup rum

      Spices & Garnish

      • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
      • Ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend eggs and maple syrup: Add the 4 large eggs and ½ cup maple syrup to a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for exactly 4 minutes, using a timer to ensure thorough mixing and a smooth, frothy texture.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Pour in 1 ½ cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream if dairy-free), ⅓ cup rum, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Blend everything together for an additional 10 seconds on high speed just to combine the ingredients evenly.
  3. Refrigerate the eggnog: Transfer the blended eggnog into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator and chill until cold, ideally at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and the texture thicken slightly.
  4. Serve with garnish: Stir the chilled eggnog before serving to recombine any settled ingredients. Pour into glasses and garnish each serving with either a cinnamon stick or a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Use a high-powered blender for best texture and thorough blending of eggs and syrup.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free milk alternatives such as almond or oat milk.
  • The rum amount can be adjusted or omitted for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Chill the eggnog well before serving to enhance flavor and safety.
  • Store leftover eggnog in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days.
  • Ensure the eggs are fresh and clean since they are consumed raw in this recipe.
