Questions about Eggnog
Should you serve eggnog hot or cold?
It is usually served well chilled, often with a dusting of grated nutmeg. For a warm drink, heat it gently in a pan, stirring, and take it off the heat before it simmers so it does not curdle.
How do you make homemade eggnog safely?
Whisk egg yolks with sugar, then slowly whisk in warm milk and cream. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 71 °C; chill promptly, then stir in vanilla, nutmeg and, if you like, spirits.
How long does eggnog keep once opened?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within three days of opening. Homemade eggnog should also be refrigerated promptly and used within three days; discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
Can you use eggnog in baking?
Yes. Replace the milk in French toast with eggnog, or use it in pancakes, bread pudding and cake batter. Because it is already sweetened and spiced, reduce added sugar and cinnamon or nutmeg.
What can you use instead of eggnog?
For drinking, mix milk or cream with a little sugar, vanilla and nutmeg; it will be thinner and lack eggnog’s egg-rich texture. In baking, use milk or cream and add a little extra egg to approximate the richness.
Is eggnog alcoholic?
Not necessarily: many cartons are alcohol-free, while homemade recipes may include rum, brandy or whisky. Alcohol does not make raw-egg eggnog safe, so use pasteurised eggs or cook the mixture to 71 °C.
Can you drink eggnog made with raw eggs?
Raw eggs can carry harmful bacteria, so choose pasteurised eggs for uncooked recipes. For young children, avoid eggnog containing alcohol and serve only a small amount because its thick texture can be difficult for toddlers to manage.
