Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream chilled
  • 1 cup whole milk cold
  • 3 cups eggnog store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly grated for flavor
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and eggnog until well combined.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 25-30 minutes.
  • Once churned, transfer the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  • Serve the eggnog ice cream scooped in bowls or cones, with an extra sprinkle of nutmeg on top if desired.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of rum or brandy to the mixture before churning. This ice cream pairs wonderfully with holiday desserts like pies and cakes.
