Description
Whether you like your eggnog hot or cold, this easy “no cook” recipe should do the trick! Instead of whisking a custard on the stovetop and risking lumps, I prefer to heat the liquid and just buzz it all up in the blender, letting residual heat take care of cooking the eggs. So easy!

Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups half and half
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons THM Super Sweet Blend
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Rum extract to taste (I don’t love it, so I use a splash of maple extract instead)
Instructions
Heat almond milk and half and half until boiling in microwave or on stovetop. Have all other ingredients ready and waiting in a blender.
Add the hot liquids and blend carefully on low speed at first (immediately, so the eggs don’t scramble) – venting the blender to prevent pressure buildup and covering it with a towel to avoid splashing hot liquids. (You can carefully increase the speed as the blender is running.) The heat from the near-boiling liquid will cook the eggs.
Blend until frothy. Taste and adjust sweetness and flavors as desired. Serve hot, or chill in the fridge and serve cold.
Notes
Just like my single serve hot eggnog recipe, the heat from liquid right off the boil should be enough to bring the eggs to a safe temperature. (I grew up drinking eggnog made with raw eggs, but for those of you who need to be careful.) Make the sure the liquids are fully boiling before adding them. You can use an instant read thermometer to temp it and make sure it reaches 160*F. If it doesn’t you can always bring it up to temp in a pan on the stovetop, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Do not boil! Cooking the eggnog further may change the texture (making the eggnog thicker as the xanthan gum gets activated further) and taste (more eggy).
