Description
A rich and creamy holiday milkshake made with eggnog and vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup eggnog (preferably full-fat for richness)
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (dairy or dairy-free)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated for best flavor)
- 1 dash cinnamon (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: eggnog, vanilla ice cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, maple syrup, a blender, measuring cups, a tall glass, and a whisk or spoon.
- Add the eggnog, vanilla ice cream, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg into the blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, frosty, and well combined, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a thick, creamy texture and a fragrant nutmeg aroma.
- Taste the shake and, if desired, add a splash of maple syrup or honey to boost sweetness. Blend again for a few seconds to incorporate.
- Pour the milkshake into a tall glass, allowing it to fill just below the rim.
- Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg for aroma and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the frosty, spicy, creamy delight that feels like a holiday hug in a glass.
Notes
- This milkshake is perfect for holiday gatherings or as a seasonal treat.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and eggnog.
