Questions about Eggnog
Is eggnog served hot or cold?
It is usually served chilled, often with a dusting of nutmeg. You can warm it gently in a pan, stirring continuously; don’t let it boil, or the egg can curdle.
How do you make eggnog safely at home?
Whisk eggs with sugar, then slowly whisk in warm milk and cream. Heat the mixture gently, stirring, until it reaches 71 °C; chill it promptly. Pasteurised eggs are a convenient choice, especially for recipes that are not cooked.
How long does homemade eggnog keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use it within three to four days. Chill it as soon as it has cooled, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for more than two hours.
What can you add to eggnog?
Grated nutmeg is the classic topping; cinnamon also works well. Eggnog is often served with brandy, rum or whisky, but it is just as good without alcohol.
Can you use eggnog in cooking and baking?
Yes. Use it in place of milk in pancake batter or French toast, or stir it into custard, bread pudding or porridge; its sugar and spices may mean you need less added sugar.
What can you use instead of eggnog?
For a similar spiced drink, mix milk or a plant-based drink with a little cream, nutmeg and cinnamon, then sweeten to taste. For baking, ordinary milk with a pinch of spice works, though it will be less rich.
Does eggnog contain raw egg?
Traditional homemade recipes may use raw eggs, but shop-bought eggnog is generally made with pasteurised ingredients. For homemade eggnog, use pasteurised eggs or heat the mixture to 71 °C.
