Something else that makes sense is using eggnog for ice cream. I love eggnog, but I can only drink a very small portion at a time. It's like drinking deliciously flavored heavy cream. It's so thick. It's so creamy. It's so perfect for ice cream.
Eggnog Ice Creamyield: One quart ice cream
1 qt Eggnog
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (or extract)
pinch Salt
Gingersnaps, crumbled (optional)
1. In a bowl whisk together the sugar, vanilla bean paste and salt. Pour in enough egg nog to be able to stir everything together until smooth.
2. Pour the eggnog/sugar mixture along with the rest of the eggnog in your electric ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturers instructions.
This ice cream is delicious and couldn't be more easy. Many eggnog ice cream recipes call for milk, heavy cream, nutmeg and the other ingredients necessary to create the eggnog flavor. Well, I say just buy eggnog and be done with it! I recently got a waffle cone maker and this was my first time to use it. They came out nice and crispy! As for the topping I purchased gingersnaps and crumbled a few on top.Sorry ice cream industry, I'm making my own ice cream this year!

I love your waffle cups - they look awesome! The ice cream sounds good too but since my husband wouldn't eat it I'd have make a very small batch for myself :)
yes, yes, and yes to your luscious ice cream! God, I need to get me an ice cream machine so I too can sample homemade lusciousness. :)
I just made my first successful homemade ice cream the other day, so I am desperate to try out new recipes, and this sounds great!
I certainly have been eating more ice cream these days than over the summer. I like how you don't have to heat up the eggnog or use additional eggs for this recipe! It looks good!
I love eggnog ice cream! I made it over the summer (by accident - I was going for chai). I like your recipe better.
I'm getting more into eggnog -- I'm a late bloomer to this flavor! And I love ice cream, so I think this would firmly cement eggnog's place on my list of favorite holiday treats.
Beautiful photos! I thoroughly support eating ice cream in the winter. I love to sprinkle a little nutmeg on my eggnog and add a little rum (of course). Might be good in the ice cream.
One of my favorite foods, or drinks, of the season! Egg nog but in icecream form this simple? Oh yes I will be making it!
Ah Natalie you gastronomic temptress..... (swooning over the icecream...)
OHmigosh this looks incredible! I don't have an ice cream maker but have been DYING for one. I really want to make this!!
I gotta say... I can't do eggnog... but in ice cream form... I'd give it a go!
Sounds delicious! I wish I had space for an ice cream maker...
Your photos are beautiful!
How festive of you :) I couldn't stop at one scoop. In fact, the whole batch may well disappear if you left me alone with it.
We love eggnog too! Love the ice cream... I've been wanting to make some for a while... a homemade version. Love your photos :o)
Looks yummy! I love eggnog ice cream, but not eggnog so much. I guess the frozen part seems to make it less "rich"? and I'm a year-round ice cream eater, so it wouldn't surprise me if sales are up in the winter.
This looks yummy. Must be very delicious.
Great idea Natalie! Ice cream making is much easier and the process is fun too!
Ohhh, yum. I love eggnog. I'd be putting a bit of rum into that recipe!
what a great idea for the holidays!! i never thought about eggnog as an ice cream! great stuff.
Ice cream is a treat for all seasons!
adoro il gelato!!!! il tuo รจ super!!
So I took out the ice cream machine - because yes even in -20 C soon indoors ice cream is a treat - and I made this recipe. Its just yummy!
How cute! I am not huge on eggnog, but I think I would like it in ice cream. I LOVE your blog btw : )
