    Eggnog milkshake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Easy Eggnog milkshake topped with crumbled graham cracker cookies for a festive winter drink

    This eggnog milkshake is made with milk or leftover eggnog, blended with vanilla ice cream, nutmeg, and a little rum for a fun twist on a great holiday beverage.

    In the spirit of stress-free Christmas cheer, I came up with this idea for an eggnog milkshake. Eggnog is basically a crème anglaise spiked with rum (or bourbon) and flavoured with lots and lots of nutmeg, so why not make it using vanilla ice cream (since vanilla ice cream is also crème anglaise based).

    Ingredients to make an easy eggnog milkshake

    You can make this milkshake with leftover eggnog or regular milk. This is the perfect holiday drink. Bonus: it takes just a few minutes to make—the hardest part is scooping the ice cream.

    Spiked eggnog milkshake

    I highly recommend taking a moment for yourself, at the end of the day, with an eggnog milkshake to brighten your spirit so that you can enjoy a festive holiday moment in all the chaos. Or for a hot festive drink, try making hot buttered rum!

      I love your little story of drinking spiked eggnog in the lab. I feel as though my research supervisor would join us if he found out we were doing that! haha

      Oh this looks sooooo good! I am definitely trying that! Now all I need is spiced rum. Haven't blogged about food or shot any food in too long - still love it. But it's too bloody hot in Singapore to be in the kitchen.
