During the holidays, eggnog laced with warm spices and perhaps a hint of rum or whiskey feels like a luxurious treat. But there’s no reason for this rich, creamy treat to be limited to the month of December. Let’s turn this classic drink into a no-churn eggnog ice cream that’s right for any season.<\/p>\n
Eggnog<\/a> is a decadent concoction made with eggs, cream and alcohol, and then laced with spices. Similar beverages were consumed in England around the 13th century. By the 17th and 18th centuries, eggs and milk were plentiful in the 13 colonies, and eggnog became a celebrated and celebratory drink. George Washington even wrote his own super-boozy eggnog recipe!<\/p>\n To honor the history of eggnog in the United States, serve this ice cream at a Fourth of July party or summer barbecue. Or, make it part of your winter holiday traditions. There’s no way to go wrong with something this delicious.<\/p>\n Place the eggnog, heavy whipping cream, sugar, spiced rum, cinnamon and nutmeg in a blender.<\/p>\n Process until thickened. It will take a minute or two, depending on the power of your blender.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> The fast rotation of the blender’s blade whips air into the ice cream base, simulating the action of an ice cream churn.<\/p>\n Working quickly, scrape the eggnog mixture into freezer-safe containers, leaving room for the ice cream to expand as it freezes. Freeze until firm, several hours or overnight.<\/p>\n Store homemade ice cream in the freezer in a tightly covered container made of glass, metal or freezer-safe plastic. Use the ice cream within a month.<\/p>\n Absolutely! Without the rum your ice cream will be more solid, as alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than water and helps keep the ice cream soft. In place of the rum, add 1 tablespoon real vanilla extract or increase the amount of whipping cream slightly. The extra fat will help keep the ice cream easier to scoop.<\/p>\n If you need to freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker<\/a>, be sure to do this the night before you plan to make ice cream. Then, instead of using a blender to combine your ingredients, whisk them together in a mixing bowl, assemble your ice cream maker and pour in the mixture. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning.<\/p>\n Because eggnog ice cream is full of flavor, it can be served by itself in a dish or in a cone and then, if you wish, dusted with a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg or cocoa powder. You could also use this ice cream to make an affogato<\/a>, serve this ice cream over waffles or put a scoop between a pair of old-fashioned gingersnaps<\/a> to make an ice cream sandwich.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indulge in luscious holiday flavors year-round with our spiked eggnog ice

Eggnog Ice Cream Tips<\/h2>
Can you make eggnog ice cream without rum?<\/h3>You can certainly make this ice cream without the rum, if you prefer! However, your ice cream may be a touch firmer, as the alcohol keeps this no-churn ice cream soft and creamy in the freezer. To keep it soft without the alcohol, you can substitute a few tablespoons of vanilla or rum extract (which will affect the flavor), or increase the amount of heavy whipping cream slightly, as the butterfat in the cream does not freeze too hard.
How long does eggnog ice cream last?<\/h3>Ice cream\u2019s flavor and texture can degrade in your freezer over time, so it\u2019s best to eat it within 1 month. We guarantee this eggnog ice cream will not last that long, though! Store your ice cream in a shallow, airtight, lidded container, preferably made of glass, metal or freezer-safe plastic. In a pinch, loaf pans or pie plates work quite well\u2014just make sure all of your ice cream will fit the container and that you can keep it tightly covered to prevent freezer burn. Check out some of the ice cream products<\/a> we recommend, including storage containers.
What can you mix into eggnog ice cream?<\/h3>Once your ice cream has frozen to a point where it can be softly stirred, crumble up Biscoff cookies or amaretti <\/a>and swirl the crumbs into the eggnog ice cream for an extra bit of flavor and texture. For a real holiday treat, add crumbled pieces of gingerbread<\/a>!
