Betty's Festive Holiday Eggnog Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Festive Holiday Eggnog. This is a drink that uses common ingredients that combine to give an uncommon taste! Youll want to keep the ingredients on hand throughout the holiday season to treat your guests to luscious nutmeg-topped eggnog!
Note: On the video, I made only one-half of the recipe for demonstrations purposes, but I am giving you the full recipe below, so you will note that all amounts have been doubled, and this makes a nice amount for a punch bowl.

Ingredients:

6 eggs
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups milk
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream (very cold)
salt, to taste
ground nutmeg, for sprinkling the top of the punch bowl or the top of individual servings
light rum, to taste (if desired)

In a large mixing bowl, beat 6 eggs. Mix in 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 4 cups milk, and salt, to taste. Beat ½ pint heavy whipping cream, until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and milk mixture. Pour into a punch bowl. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving. You may add light rum, if you want an alcoholic version of eggnog. You may also sprinkle the tops of the individual servings with additional nutmeg. This is a beautiful and tasty drink that you can have all year around, but it is very special during the holiday season. I hope you enjoy it! --Betty 

Dear Betty,

Do you use the whole egg or do you split it in 2 (egg yolk / protein)

Greetings from the Netherlands!!

Happy hollidays everyone.

@lphoes Hi Remon! I use the whole egg--both parts together.

Hey, I have a few question for you

Question 1) What happens if you mix everything by hand and is that okay?

Question 2) Is the nutmeg a choice or do you have to?

Question 3) What do you mean by chilled?

I hope you can answer some of my questions

[bettyskitchen]

@christina2581 Mixing by hand is okay. Nutmeg is optional. Chilled = refrigerated.

i still cant get over the fact that eggnog is raw eggs. ew. but i love drinking the noggy lol. could u possibly get sick from the raw eggs in homemade eggnog recipes?

[bettyskitchen]

@xhottestpink It isd not likely, but it is possible. You may substitute egg substitute, which is pasteurized to be sure there is no problem.

hi I am a friend of Canadiancatgreen and have a question or more I want to confirm that this is correct

I want to make this the best way so can I leave the alcohol which would mean it is way way better?

[SHAHADALOCKETT]

Another recipe turned out great Betty,:} my children loved it!!!! lol...{of course non alchol}Love you so much.Please keep teaching.

If nutmeg is not around, I like to use ground cinnamon as an alternative (as well an addition to nutmeg).
