I've wanted to try eggnog for years but since it isn't available to buy in my country and I was too lazy to make it I've gone years without trying it. Well this year I made this recipe and it is delicious. Thank you
Thank you for sharing! When I was a kid (Senior now) my Father used to make home made Egg Nog. I am Sorry I never learned his recipe! I remember he whipped up the egg whites in the end and topped the egg nog before chilling and serving.
Hi, going to make this egg nog. I made your homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, adding orange juice and spices, and it turned out great. My daughter loved it and gave most of it to her with a block of cream cheese saying the sauce would be yummy on a bagel topped with cream cheese and the cranberry sauce. I really love your channel. ;-)
My Grampa used to make egg nog along with the best fudge I have ever tasted. I'm 65 now and I really look forward to the Holidays when the nog starts to hit the shelves. I've been drinking it as long as I can remember.
My first time making eggnog! And your right! It is way better than store bought. My family truly enjoyed this recipe. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas 🎄✨
ME TOO AND WHEN I MENTION THAT I DO TO PEOPLE, THEY SAY "EGG NOG"?? AND I ALWAYS REPLY WELL WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER I PUT IN IT, KETCHUP ! ?, THEY GET IT, THEN.
It's the opposite in my household, lol. I have a recipe for an eggnog pastry cream that I've been dying to use. I think using it in a trifle for Christmas would be perfect. Especially since I can send most of it off to my siblings, lol. Can't imagine eating an entire trifle by myself... 😳
@@tammiemartinez6485 ooh that sounds yummy. Wouldn't that be good with a spiced gingerbread trifle? May I ask if you can share your recipe or share a link where it can be found? Thanks!
just made this but totally different. i did 2L whole milk with 3 tblspn butter and Saigon cinnamon. honey and vanilla with the yoke and about 3 egg white frothed. i put the egg white in last and it seemed to work well i will see when it is cooled. thanks for the recipe!
In India am from Lucknow Uttar Pradesh here people prepares it with dry fruits and eggs and dates /honey and saffron really it turns tasty yummy . Here in Lucknow people takes only 365days early in the morning without taking anything.thanks
Wow,that looks fantastic! This recipe is a must-try... Wonderful and easy recipe! Will definitely try it out...Thank you so much for this amazing recipe👍👍
Marvelous! Egg nog is only available in stores a limited time. Love the recipe. Going to make it sugar free however, so I can indulge in it more often! Very glad to find it is cooked alsol Rum is my alcohol of choice to spike these, the flavor melds very well.
Hey chef, hope your holiday was full of joy and making memories. Do you have a new cookbook yet? Do you have any new crockpot and conventional oven cooking. Candy ideas for the holidays or gifts for the holidays?
If you temper it properly there shouldn’t be anything to strain. But if you make a mistake and there are cooked pieces of egg, you can definitely strain it.
Thank you for sharing. I’d love to try this recipe because here in Australia we have a few cool days and it will be awesome for that Christmas 🎄 feeling ...
Your recipes are always the best, I tried your cheese cake recipe and I got it right the first try. I haven't had eggnog before and I am desperate to try this recipe 😋
"Old fashioned homemade eggnog" does NOT imply less expensive than store bought eggnog in any way, shape or form. Just the cost of the cinnamon sticks alone will set you back the same cost as a 1/2 gallon of store bought eggnog. Do it for the quality, but NOT to save money.
Wow...that looks so easy. I didn't realize that was how you make eggnog, which I love! I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer please. 1. Can you substitute stevia for the sugar? 2. I'm not a drinker so what are some typical kinds of alcohol you could add for the adults? Many thanks for all your delicious recipes. I've tried a few and have always had great results and they've been voted yummy by my family, so thank you!
It's crazy how much different everybody's recipe is for old fashioned egg nog. Essentially the ingredients are the same, but the order in which the ingredients are added and/or cooked seems to vary with each recipe. This is my first year making home made eggnog so it was really trial and error. Tried 2 different recipes and the finished product was wildly different. First batch tasted good but didn't blow me away. The taste was very predominantly vanilla and not enough spice. I chalk it up to using pre ground nutmeg and not using enough cinnamon. Texture was nice and thick, maybe too thick, like a thick custard or mousse. Not awful for first attempt but was expecting a little better. Tried a whole different recipe this time, and didn't even bother with making a meringue, just focused on the nog itself, used fresh nutmeg and cinnamon sticks as well as ground cloves. The finished product had a much better taste but the color was more of a light tan as opposed to an off white(not a big deal) but the texture was off......was way too runny, not as thick or fluffy. I'm going to tinker around with the recipe but essentially I'd like to make a batch that has the flavor of the 2nd batch but a consistency similar to the first batch, maybe not quite as thick, but thicker than the second batch. If I can find that happy medium then it should be the best batch of eggnog that I've ever tasted.
😲I never in my life had it. I always thought "who in the world wants to drink eggs?' 🤔🤣But, I guess you can't knock it, till you try it!! Here goes nothin'....Cheers🥳
Same. My daughter loves 'nog' as she's called it since she was little. My mom used to make fresh egg nog for just us with our farm fresh eggs and milk. It was Heaven in a glass.
Raw eggnog comes out thicker because of the egg whites that get folded in. I like my eggnog cooked so do this recipe then whip up some fresh whipped cream and fold that into the eggnog
If there is a need to strain it you certainly can, but there's generally only a need to strain it if you've made a mistake and the eggs ended up chunky.
@@Thestayathomechef I have made this twice and both times when I strained it there was nothing in the strainer either time so I guess I am doing it right 😀
Observations and thoughts.....the milk/cream mixture doesn't thicken unless you whip it rapidly the whole time and then it isn't a custard. Maybe I leave the cream out like she did.
I'm assuming this is whole milk?? I buy 2%, but I guess that wouldn't work??....Or could I mix it with half and half?? lol -I have no idea what I'm DOING over here....😐😆😆
The easier way is to not heat the milk and cream. I know she didn’t use cream. You mix the milk cream and eggs and you whisk and you slowly heat. Then you don’t end up a scrambled eggs.
Everything went well until I believe I over cooked the egg mixture and it curdled. Still lots fun to try with my family. We'll try again tomorrow night!
How do you know if you overcooked the egg mixture? While mine was cooling on counter for that hour, it turned very grainy/gtitty in appearance and texture? What did I do wrong? I used a strainer to pour it into my serving pitcher as I wanted a smoother drink. My strainer was full of that gritty substance....

I just made this, and it is absolutely amazing. No more paying for over priced eggnog at the store that is less than stellar. Thanks! 🙌🏻❤️
So far this is my favorite eggnog recipe, and I’ve tried a few 😋
My Mom used to make the cooked version for my Dad starting the Saturday after Thanksgiving and all through New Year’s Eve
.. thank you for reminding me of good times.
That wasn't eggnog bro. That was ur unborn siblings you used to see ur mom drinking
Thank you Sister! Your videos have saved a stay at home Dad in the kitchen🙏🏼

I don't want to use sugar though, it should work well with stevia too?
Absolutely delicious thank you!!!

Hey chef, hope your holiday was full of joy and making memories.
Do you have a new cookbook yet?
Do you have any new crockpot and conventional oven cooking. Candy ideas for the holidays or gifts for the holidays?
I would like a suggestion of what to do with the egg whites.
Make an angel food cake. It requires egg whites only or some merengues are good too
Is the heavy cream at the end necessary? Can it be substituted?
Yum yum !!!
Good idea to strain the mixture prior to bottling to remove egg yolk strings.
If you temper it properly there shouldn’t be anything to strain. But if you make a mistake and there are cooked pieces of egg, you can definitely strain it.
This looks super easy I can't wait to make this for Christmas. Thank you 😊
I love EggNog
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. I’d love to try this recipe because here in Australia we have a few cool days and it will be awesome for that Christmas 🎄 feeling ...

This is fantastic as I can make it with lactose free milk and cream. Thank you for the recipe. x

Thank you for posting. It saves me from watching.
But you re-use cinnamon sticks
That's right.
I guess you haven't seen the price of store bought eggnog lately. 🙂
@@carolinastringband I make my own.
Wow this video demo is so detailed. nicely done
Looks delicious.

RECOMMEND USE SPICED RUM A LITTLE?

Thanks for watching!
@@Thestayathomechef love your recipes all the way from South Africa.
Never tasted this. So is there a single serving recipe to try?
Can’t wait to try this! Love homemade eggnog
I am going to try this recipe. It doesnt look super hard. My husband loves egg nog.
Same. My daughter loves 'nog' as she's called it since she was little. My mom used to make fresh egg nog for just us with our farm fresh eggs and milk. It was Heaven in a glass.
They shared traditional Arabic cooking from me very much
"too thick or too rich" these words do not exist to me.
Eu amo
How much does this recipe make in ml? 🙂
Nice video ♥️♥️😍😍👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Can you make this thicker?
Raw eggnog comes out thicker because of the egg whites that get folded in. I like my eggnog cooked so do this recipe then whip up some fresh whipped cream and fold that into the eggnog
Can you taste the egg at all?
Can't wait to try this recipe! 😍😍
Can I add more sugar?
Yes, you can adjust the sugar to your own personal taste preferences.
Is 7 egg yolks a must? Can we take less number of egg?
Thanks! Now I'm gonna make some good money off of this now
you don't strain it?
If there is a need to strain it you certainly can, but there's generally only a need to strain it if you've made a mistake and the eggs ended up chunky.
@@Thestayathomechef I have made this twice and both times when I strained it there was nothing in the strainer either time so I guess I am doing it right 😀
Mine came out chunky maybe I didn't get the white egg yolk out all the way ?
Add a bit of Rum extract, Rum flavor, or even Imitation Rum flavor for an even more authentic taste.
*SUPERB DEAR ITS REALLY AN AWESOME SHARING. LOVE IT 🌻💛🌻💛🌻💛❤🌷❤🌷❤🌷👍👍👍👍*
Observations and thoughts.....the milk/cream mixture doesn't thicken unless you whip it rapidly the whole time and then it isn't a custard. Maybe I leave the cream out like she did.
What about the egg whites?
How come your not using the egg whites?
Great question! ❤
I'm assuming this is whole milk?? I buy 2%, but I guess that wouldn't work??....Or could I mix it with half and half?? lol -I have no idea what I'm DOING over here....😐😆😆
2% works great.
@@Thestayathomechef Tyvm....You never know about these things sometimes, unless you ask!! 😊
The easier way is to not heat the milk and cream. I know she didn’t use cream. You mix the milk cream and eggs and you whisk and you slowly heat. Then you don’t end up a scrambled eggs.
I tought this one is with the Old Fashioned Cocktail
Deli🎄💓😘
Why Can't There's Eggnog Being Made Just Heavy Cream? Like Coffee Creamer?
“Two more teaspoons of vanilla”
*proceeds to add a half cup*
Just a shot of vodka *glug glug glug glug glug*
Superbbbbbbbbbbb
Everything went well until I believe I over cooked the egg mixture and it curdled. Still lots fun to try with my family. We'll try again tomorrow night!
Oh no! Hope you do not over cook the egg mixture tomorrow night (:
How do you know if you overcooked the egg mixture? While mine was cooling on counter for that hour, it turned very grainy/gtitty in appearance and texture? What did I do wrong?

Me and my grandma used to make it this same way but uncooked . It’s a new years tradition
