"Though often relegated to warmer temps, let's be real, milkshakes are a great option any time of year. To create a tasty milkshake fit for the season, you can combine your favorite ice cream with one all-time-favorite holiday beverage: eggnog. Just swap out the milk in your typical milkshake recipe for the ultimate holiday-inspired treat. Though the creamy, custardy beverage is traditionally consumed warm or chilled (and often spiked), it also makes for a milkshake that's both decadently refreshing and reminiscent of Christmas."
"Once you have the beverage on hand, you can make a milkshake with eggnog by pouring it into a blender and mixing it up with a couple cups of your favorite ice cream until it reaches a desired creamy milkshake consistency. Just remember, eggnog is typically thicker than milk due to the egg yolks and cooking process, so you may need a bit less liquid than you usually use for regular shakes made with 2% or whole milk."
"When giving your milkshake a merry twist, you can mix it up simply with eggnog or add other creative ingredients. Though eggnog typically contains nutmeg as its predominant spice, you can also blend in cinnamon, cloves, and other warm spices like cardamom to further introduce the cozy feels of the season to the frosty dessert. Substitute eggnog into a variety of your favorite shake recipes, from vanilla to chocolate to coffee, for a spiced twist."
Eggnog can replace milk in milkshakes to create a festive, custardy, and chilled dessert that evokes Christmas flavors. Store-bought eggnog works well, or make it from scratch by cooking eggs, milk, sugar, and flavorings on the stovetop. Blend eggnog with two cups of preferred ice cream until reaching desired creamy consistency, using slightly less liquid than usual because eggnog is thicker than 2% or whole milk. Add warm spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, or cardamom for extra seasonal depth. Eggnog pairs with vanilla, chocolate, coffee, or pumpkin ice cream and can be served chilled or spiked for adults.
