I realize it’s a little late to post the Eggnog Recipe. At this point, I’m sure most of us are nogged out.
Not to mention coming to the sober realization that the holidays are over and thus, time to pay the cream-cheese-and-four-sticks-of-butter-in-every-recipe piper.
However, several of y’all asked for it and I’m going to go ahead and post it because there may be some of y’all out there who will throw caution to the wind and have one last fat-filled fling before the New Year’s Resolutions kick in.
And, if after you make it, you can’t stop drinking it, then you can do what P usually does and dump the rest of it down the drain.
Eggnog is his kryptonite.
Anyway, it’s also good time to let you know that I’ve created a separate page entirely devoted to all the recipes I have ever posted. That way if you wake up in the night and can’t sleep for wondering how on earth I make my crawfish etouffee, then there’s a quick and easy way to get that information.
Just click on the link under the About Me section that says, appropriately enough, “Recipes”.
I am so clever.
Homemade Eggnog
1 dozen eggs
1 quart cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups milk
1/4 to 3/4 cup bourbon (depending on how festive you feel)
Separate egg white from egg yolks. Mix yolks with sugar. Beat until creamy. Add bourbon and cover with plastic wrap for one hour.
Add milk. Whip cream and add in to mixture. Whip egg whites and fold in. Refrigerate and serve with nutmeg if desired.

Mmmmm yum! We’ve been dealing with an infant milk allergy over here, so no eggnog for this breastfeeding mommy. But next Christmas…. mmmmmmm.
Ya know….my mom makes Egg Nog every year on Christmas Eve and I never drank it until this year…she makes one with Bourbon and one with out for the grand kids….anyway…I really liked it….really. Happy New Year. I cant wait to enjoy this new year with you.
I feel my arteries clogging just reading the recipe.
Happy New Year, can’t wait for more fun from BM, P, and tot!
God’s blessing,

Holy cow! Er chicken! It does sound delicious though.
I don’t really like it, but my mother-in-law does. Am sharing this with her.
Holy Moly. Eggnog practically replaces milk around here from the beginning of November until hubby can’t get it anymore. Seriously though, we made bread pudding with it, snickerdoodles with it (OMGosh). I can hardly handle drinking the stuff myself, but I’ll HAVE to give this a try for the fam.
I’m not an eggnog fan, but I love me some boiled custard. I’ve been drinking it all holiday season. For the baby, you know. He needs some calcium.
What with the death of Mr. Snowblower and all the snow shoveling, I’ve actually LOST weight. This means, of course, that I NEED eggnog so’s I don’t waste away to nothing!
Okay, maybe it’s just the Northerner in me, but no one is grossed out by the raw egg aspect at all? Ick! I guess that I must have thought that those eggs got cooked somehow. Obviously, other than the sample that I had in the grocery, I’ve never had egg nog. That sample I’m sure was pasteurized to death.
I don’t much care for egg nog, but I love, love, LOVE grossing out our squeamish family members, so I’ve been known to serve homemade egg nog AND hollandaise sauce (both contain raw eggs) just to watch their skins crawl as the rest of the clueless rednecks just lap up the stuff. There’s not enough Purell in the northern hemisphere for these people, and tweaking them is really the highlight of any family gathering.
Dana,
You must know that we buy Purell by the liter at Sam’s!
My mom always makes homemade eggnog (with raw eggs), which is delicious. I can’t wait to try your version, but I wanted to say…don’t limit yourself to just bourbon in it…I use Spiced Rum and my mother-in-law uses Southern Comfort, which I thought sounded gross, but was delicious! Bourbon is good too…just thought you might like to mix it up a little, lol.
