Nonalcoholic eggnog is incredibly easy to make and such a delight for the entire family for the holiday season. If you have milk, cream, sugar, and eggs then you can have this eggnog ready in 20 minutes!
Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl. The whites can be placed in another bowl, covered, and refrigerated for use later in another recipe.
Combine the sugar and yolks in a mixing bowl. Whisk them together with a blender or whisk until pale and creamy.
Add the milk and cream to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now, slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure to add the milk mixture in a thin, steady stream so that you don't scramble the eggs. Keep whisking continuously until all the milk is whisked in.
Transfer the mixture to the saucepan and cook on medium heat until the eggnog thickens to your desired consistency. Keep stirring as it heats to keep it from sticking to the bottom. Whisk in the vanilla and nutmeg.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. If desired, garnish with extra nutmeg on top!
