I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. He said it was the best eggnog he's ever had.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this eggnog with almond milk and vegan butter. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggnog turned out a bit too thick. I think I may have added too much cornstarch.

This eggnog is a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few left over after making meringue or angel food cake, and this is the perfect way to put them to use.

The nutmeg and cinnamon give this eggnog the perfect amount of spice. It's not too overpowering, but it definitely adds to the flavor.

This eggnog is a great make-ahead drink. I made it a few days before my party and it was even better after it had time to chill.

This eggnog recipe is a keeper! It's so easy to make and tastes just like the classic eggnog I remember from my childhood. I love that it doesn't have any raw eggs in it, so I can feel safe serving it to my family and friends.
