Ingredients in Homemade Eggnog Milkshake
Eggnog Ice Cream – You should be able to find eggnog ice cream in grocery stores in the fall and winter. It’s a seasonal flavor, and tricky to find outside of the holiday season. I also highly suggest that you try making my Homemade Eggnog Ice Cream for this shake.
Milk – The creamiest milkshakes are made with whole milk. You can also make this recipe with bourbon instead if you want to enjoy a co*cktail-style milkshake.
For the complete list of ingredients and instructions on how to make an eggnog milkshake, please see the recipe below.
How to Make a Milkshake with Eggnog
You may have noticed that this recipe doesn’t actually have any eggnog in it! That’s because we’re starting with eggnog ice cream instead.
If you’d like, you can replace the milk in this recipe with eggnog. Or you can use vanilla ice cream plus eggnog to make a similarly tasty milkshake.
Tips for Making This Eggnog Milkshake Recipe
- To make more than one milkshake, simply double or triple the ingredients!How many eggnog milkshakes you can make at one time will depend on the size of your blender, so just be sure not to overfill it.
- Adjust the consistency – You can make a thicker milkshake by using less milk, or a thinner shake by adding more.
- Try a boozy eggnog milkshake – For the adults, replace some or all of the milk in the recipe with your favorite bourbon.
- Make it fun – Add garnishes to your milkshake. I like whipped cream, cinnamon, and fresh or dried cranberries. You can always add a maraschino cherry on top too!
- Like a bit of extra spice? Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg to the blender. You can also sprinkle these warm spices on top as a garnish.
Can I Make An Eggnog Milkshake With Vanilla Ice Cream?
You absolutely can! But you’ll need some real eggnog to add to it so that you have all of that amazing festive flavor. Simply replace the eggnog ice cream in the recipe with vanilla ice cream, and replace the milk with eggnog. Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
