Easy No Cook Eggnog Recipes

NONALCOHOLIC EGGNOG

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
• Heat the milk and 3/4 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the liquid starts to steam; remove from the heat.
• Whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then pour the milk-egg mixture back into the saucepan. Return the saucepan to medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer reads 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl, and let it cool at room temperature until it is no longer hot, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours up to 3 days.
• When ready to serve, whip the remaining 3/4 cup cream with an electric mixer in a large bowl to medium peaks. Then, while whisking, slowly pour in the cold milk-egg mixture. The eggnog should be creamy and thicker than heavy cream. Serve with a light sprinkle of nutmeg and lemon zest if using.

EASIEST EGGNOG

Steps:

• Blend together eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Serve chilled.

EFFORTLESS EGGNOG

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk 3/4 cup milk and pudding mix until smooth. Whisk in the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in the remaining milk. Refrigerate until serving.

NO-COOK EGGNOG ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix eggnog, heavy cream, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

EASY CHRISTMAS EGGNOG FUDGE (NO THERMOMETER!)

Steps:

• Line a 9x9-inch pan with aluminum foil; set aside.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, add eggnog and sugar, bring to a rolling boil over medium to med-high heat (watch that mixture does not boil over the pot, if boiling to hard, turn down heat slightly, but continue a rapid boil), stirring constantly; boil for 2 minutes (this must be timed for exactly 2 minutes).
• Remove from heat; stir in the marshmallows, cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg (if using).
• Put saucepan back on element; bring back to a rolling boil for another 6 minutes, stirring constantly, again, turn down the heat if mixture is boiling to hard.
• The mixture will start to turn a brown colour, which is normal.
• After boiling for the full 6 minutes; remove from heat; add the butter, vanilla chips and nuts.
• Stir rapidly, until mixture has a glossy appearance, and the chips and butter are well mixed.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared foil-lined pan.
• Cool at room temperature.
• Remove from pan lifting up sides of foil.
• Remove the foil from the fudge; cut in small squares.
