Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups milk (whole, 2%, or a creamy plant-based milk like oat or almond)
- 2 cups heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free option
- 2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2/3 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 6 large pasteurized eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings and Alcohol
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon or extra nutmeg for sprinkling
- Optional alcohol such as bourbon, rum, or brandy (not included in base recipe)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, pumpkin purée, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt into your blender.
- Blend: Blend on high for about 45 seconds to a minute until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly frothy on top, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve: Serve the eggnog immediately over ice for a chilled drink, or transfer it to the refrigerator to chill if you prefer it extra cold.
- Garnish: Optionally top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to add a festive touch and enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Use pasteurized eggs to ensure safety when consuming raw eggs in this recipe.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute dairy milk and heavy cream with plant-based milks like oat or almond milk and full-fat coconut milk.
- If you’d like an adult version, add a splash of bourbon, rum, or brandy to taste.
- The pumpkin purée should be plain, not pumpkin pie filling which contains added spices and sugar.
- Chilling the eggnog allows the flavors to meld and the drink to become more refreshing.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
