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.
