  1. In a blender, add the vanilla ice cream, eggnog, nutmeg and vanilla extract (try my bourbon vanilla extract, yum!).
  2. Blend together until completely combined, but don’t overblend.

  4. To make it more special add a wafer cookie straw, or a cherry to the top.

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Eggnog Shake Recipe |
  • Boozy Eggnog Milkshake with Bailey's Irish Cream | Make a boozy milkshake with a shot or two of Bailey’s. Or use your favorite bourbon, brandy, or dark rum for a boozy eggnog shake.
  • Chocolate Eggnog Milkshake | Make using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, or add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to a regular eggnog milkshake. 
  • Chocolate Eggnog Milkshake |
  • Refrigerate - Since this is a frozen treat, storing in the fridge will result in a yummy liquid, but not a frozen ice cream shake.
  • Freeze - If you have a leftover shake, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three days. When ready to enjoy, set it on the counter for 10 minutes to soften, then place it back in the blender for the best results.
  • Make your milkshake extra thick by reducing the eggnog to ½ cup.
  • Add ½ teaspoon of rum extract for a non-alcoholic boozy version.
  • Use eggnog ice cream for more delicious eggnog flavor!
  • Add a wafer cookie straw or maraschino cherry on top. Other lovely garnishes are cinnamon sticks and a sweet syrup or sauce, like a salted caramel drizzle or chocolate fudge.
  • Add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and allspice are delicious spices to add to the recipe for even more holiday flavor.
  • Dairy-Free Eggnog Shake Recipe | For a dairy-free or vegan eggnog milkshake, use plant-based eggnog and your favorite dairy-free ice cream.
  • Boozy Eggnog Milkshake with Bailey's Irish Cream | Make a boozy milkshake with a shot or two of Bailey’s. Or use your favorite bourbon, brandy, or dark rum for a boozy eggnog shake.
  • Chocolate Eggnog Milkshake | Make using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, or add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder to a regular eggnog milkshake.
