About:

Celebrate the festive season with a scoop of Homemade Eggnog Ice Cream, a creamy and rich dessert that encapsulates the essence of holiday cheer. This easy-to-make recipe transforms the classic holiday drink into a frozen treat, blending the traditional flavors of eggnog with the smooth texture of ice cream.

Creating the Eggnog Base:

The journey to a perfect Eggnog Ice Cream begins with crafting a rich base. Mix a little sugar with your ice cream stabilizer, ensuring a smooth incorporation later. In a saucepan, whisk together additional sugar, skim milk powder, and milk until fully combined. The addition of cream introduces a luxurious texture, setting the stage for a truly indulgent ice cream.

Infusing the Holiday Flavors:

Heat the mixture to 45°C, then carefully temper the eggs by slowly incorporating some warm milk mixture before returning everything to the saucepan. This step is crucial for achieving the eggnog’s signature richness without curdling the eggs. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 65°C, then add the stabilizer mix and heat to 75°C, ensuring a silky smooth consistency.

Enhancing with Classic Eggnog Spices:

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in rum, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. These ingredients are essential for capturing the quintessential eggnog flavor—warm, spicy, and slightly boozy. After mixing, strain the base through a sieve to thoroughly ensure a uniform texture and chill.

Churning and Freezing:

Once chilled, churn the eggnog base in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This process aerates the mixture into a creamy, scoopable delight. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your desired firmness.
