Eggnog Ice Cream Recipe

December 14, 2015 by Mindi Cherry

Easy Eggnog Ice Cream Recipe

Eggnog Ice Cream Recipe

Egg Nog is one of my favorite things about the holidays but I simply can't drink it “straight”. It is far too rich for me and every year, I think “this year will be different” and pour myself a nice glass of eggnog (which I make using my easy eggnog recipe) and end up spending the rest of the night regretting that decision. However, I have discovered that I can tolerate “egg nog flavor”, even if I can't deal with the drink itself (make sure you check out my easy egg nog cookies recipe as well!)

During the cold holiday months, ice cream might be one of the very last foods you think of as a holiday dessert. This recipe may change that way of thinking with its seasonal eggnog flavors!

Ice cream making machines make excellent gifts, especially when accompanied by recipes such as this one. Your gift recipient will think of you when they make the recipe and throughout the warmer months when their machine is used for refreshingly cold ice cream, sorbet, and more! Or – you can just simply make this Eggnog ice cream recipe for your own enjoyment!

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker

This is the ice cream machine I use: Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. It requires a little planning, as you need to freeze the bowl before you can use it, but it is very simple, easy to use, and always churns out great ice cream. If you have a KitchenAid, you can also use the Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker Attachment. I have this as well but I think I like the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker a little better!

Ice cream might be one of the very last foods you think of as a holiday dessert. This eggnog ice cream recipe may change that way of thinking!
Author: Mindi
Ingredients
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  2. Combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a sauce pot over low heat. Warm until the mixture just barely begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. Very slowly ladle small quantities of the warm heavy cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking the egg yolks constantly. Continue to ladle the warm mixture into the yolks until half of the heavy cream mixture has made it into the yolks.
  4. Stir the warm yolk mixture into the remaining heavy cream mixture in the sauce pot.
  5. Return the mixture to low heat and warm for 3-5 minutes (stirring constantly), or until the mixture has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the ground nutmeg and cinnamon. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool.
  7. When the mixture is cold, add it to your ice cream maker and prepare according to the machine’s instructions. Garnish with freshly-ground nutmeg if desired.

    Mindi, this is so perfect for the holiday season! I love the idea of eggnog ice cream. Every summer I think I will get a kitchen aid ice cream maker attachment for my mixer, and I never do…..I may have to ask Santa for one! 😉 Thank you for sharing this with us at Treasure Box Tuesday- pinned! 🙂

      I don’t use my Kitchen Aid ice cream attachment as often as I thought I would, but I really love it when I use it and it takes up much less space than a stand-alone ice cream maker would!

      Hey Rashid! You really do need to use heavy cream to make ice cream for it to turn out the right consistency.

      You could try using canned evaporated milk, or even half-and-half or whole milk, but it won’t be nearly as creamy as if you used heavy creamy.

Welcome!
