5 Minute Blender Eggnog
Description
The 5 Minute Blender Eggnog recipe uses fresh whole eggs whipped briefly with sugar before adding spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon, along with cognac, bourbon, milk, and heavy cream. Blending creates a rich, creamy mixture that is refrigerated for at least a day to combine and mellow flavors. The use of both cognac and bourbon adds complexity to the alcohol component.
The resulting texture is smooth and creamy, with balanced warmth from the spices. This version is uncooked, relying on the freshness and quality of eggs used. For those preferring a thicker or cooked version, the notes include a detailed method for tempering egg yolks with heated milk and spices to gently cook and thicken the mixture, plus folding in whipped egg whites for added lightness.
When serving, the eggnog is either shaken or whisked to re-incorporate settled layers, then optionally garnished with freshly grated nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for aroma and presentation. The recipe is tailored for home preparation with adjustments for personal taste regarding alcohol strength.
Ingredients
- 4 egg the freshest you can find, large
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or superfine sugar)
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg dried
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 oz cognac (about 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp)
- 3 oz bourbon (about 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp)
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Add whole eggs to blender and blend on MED speed (or LOW if you only have a HIGH and LOW setting option) for 30 seconds.
- Add sugar and blend another 20 seconds.
- Add nutmeg, cinnamon, cognac, bourbon, milk and heavy cream and blend until combined, about 10-15 seconds.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for a day or so to allow flavors to combine and mellow.
TO SERVE:
- Eggnog may have settled in the refrigerator, so either give it a good shake or two, or pour into a mixing bowl and give it a whisk to get everything combined.
- Serve with some additional grated nutmeg on top, and an optional cinnamon stick.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of alcohol to suit your taste preferences, blending for consistent distribution.
- The non-cooked version requires very fresh eggs for safety and best taste.
- For a thicker or cooked eggnog, temper egg yolks with hot milk and spices, cook gently until thickened but not boiled, then fold in whipped egg whites before chilling.
- Refrigerate the eggnog for at least a day to allow flavors to mellow and combine fully.
- Before serving, stir or shake the eggnog as it may separate during refrigeration.
