Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use real chocolate, not cocoa powder, for the richest flavor. Opt for whole milk or cream for a creamier texture. Freshly grated nutmeg and vanilla extract add depth of flavor.
  • Temper the egg yolks: Slowly whisk hot chocolate mixture into egg yolks to prevent them from curdling. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the egg yolks: Stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it come to a boil, or the eggs will curdle.
  • Add the eggnog last: Stir in the eggnog just before serving to prevent it from curdling. You can also top each cup with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
  • Make it ahead of time: You can make the hot chocolate mixture up to 2 days ahead of time. Simply reheat it over low heat until warmed through before adding the eggnog.

Conclusion:

Eggnog hot chocolate is a delicious and festive holiday drink that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a warm and comforting beverage that is perfect for sipping on a cold winter day. Whether you enjoy it on its own or topped with whipped cream and marshmallows, eggnog hot chocolate is sure to become a new favorite holiday tradition.
