Homemade Egg Nog – From Grandma’s Cookbook

Jump to recipe

Is there anything that says the holidays more than eggnog?  Is there anything you regret more than buying a whole tub of it at the store only to have it end up in the back of your fridge growing fur in January?  Okay, maybe that’s just us if we haven’t made Eggnog  Cookies with them by then.    But if you’re craving a single serving of yuletide cheer, you can make this holiday staple in a flash with this simple recipe straight out of my Grandma’s cookbook!

The best part is you can make it spiked or unleaded.  How about caramel?  Or chocolate?  Or butterscotch?  Or…COOKIE BUTTER!?!  Variations are listed in the recipe, and yes, I added the cookie butter one because a 70-year-old cookbook needs a flash of modernity here and there.  I think Grandma would approve.   *Please note this recipe is very old and contains raw eggs. I made the recipe as is from Grandma’s cookbook. If you want to err on the safe side, heat until it reaches 160 degrees on a food thermometer.*  The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.

  1. This looks amazing. I love eggnog, so I know this would be even better than the store brand. We have a dairy here that makes it and it is really good, though.
    I love that this came from your Grandma’s recipe; those recipes are the best there are.
    When I read these posts and watch these videos, I feel closer to you and your grandma in the least creepy way possible. 🙂

    Happy December!

    1. If you’ve got a good place, I say go there and then save this baby back for when it’s not in season. I bought some salted caramel sauce to make a flavored version.

  2. Mrs Kringle, I’ve never made just one serving of eggnog, and this is the first time I’ve seen a recipe for just one. How fun! I always do it the cooked way. I might just whip up a single serving for myself soon; it really doesn’t do to have a quantity of this stuff in the fridge taunting me every time I open the door! #PrettyPintastic

    1. Warm it to 160 degrees if you are nervous about the raw eggs but yeah, it’s nice to be able to whip up a single serving when you want one!

  3. I’m so excited to try this egg nog recipe, it sounds delicious. I’m looking forward to trying those cookies too – maybe even together… Thank you so much for sharing.
