What is Eggnog Milkshake?

An Eggnog milk is, quite simply, the glorious combination of eggnog and Ice Cream, blended into a smooth, creamy, and utterly decadent drink. It’s essentially liquid Christmas in a glass! Think of it as the sophisticated cousin of a classic milkshake. Eggnog, with its warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, brings a festive depth that you just don’t get with vanilla or chocolate alone. It’s incredibly easy to customize with your favorite toppings, too – whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, or even a drizzle of caramel. I think one of the best things about it is that you can make it as thick or thin as you like, just by adjusting the amount of ice cream.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on medium speed until everything is smooth and creamy. Do not overmix. If you like a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream, 1 tablespoon at .50. If you prefer it thinner, add a splash more eggnog. I usually blend for about 30 seconds, then give it a taste and adjust as needed.

Top Tips for Perfecting Your Eggnog Milkshake

Here are some tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years to help you make the perfect eggnog milkshake:

Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ice cream and eggnog, the better your milkshake will taste. I always splurge on good vanilla ice cream for this recipe.
Chill Your Glass: As I mentioned earlier, chilling your glass helps keep the milkshake cold and prevents it from melting too quickly.
Adjust the Consistency: If your milkshake is too thick, add a splash more eggnog. If it’s too thin, add more ice cream. Experiment until you find the perfect consistency for you.
Don’t Over-Blend: Over-blending can make your milkshake too thin and watery. Blend just until everything is smooth and creamy.
Get Creative with Toppings: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different toppings! Whipped cream, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, caramel drizzle, chocolate shavings – the possibilities are endless.
Add a Kick: For an extra festive touch, add a splash of rum extract or a shot of rum to your milkshake.
Make it Vegan: Use plant-based ice cream and eggnog for a delicious vegan version. I’ve tested this with almond milk eggnog and it came out amazing!

The biggest thing I learned is to really think about the order you pour in the ingredients to help the blending process. It is a small thing, but it makes a big difference.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Honestly, this eggnog milkshake recipe is best enjoyed immediately. However, if you do have leftovers, here’s how to store them:

Refrigerator Storage: Pour the milkshake into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that it may separate and become less creamy. I usually give it a good stir before drinking.

Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, pour the milkshake into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. You may need to blend it again to restore its creamy texture.

I do not recommend keeping these in the fridge, as the ice cream usually melts and makes it pretty runny. Best to just drink it up and make a new batch later!
