Comments on: Small Batch Eggnog https://www.dessertfortwo.com/two-mugs-o-eggnog/ by Christina Lane Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:43:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Angie Allen https://www.dessertfortwo.com/two-mugs-o-eggnog/comment-page-4/#comment-27174434192553584 Tue, 07 Jan 2025 03:43:25 +0000 http://www.dessertfortwo.com/?p=10076#comment-27174434192553584 This sounds delicious and will be very nice for the hubs and me because egg nog should really be a rare treat, so we don’t need a quart of the stuff! One funny thing, though, when I read this: “Nutmeg. This is the essential flavor of small batch eggnog, and I implore you to use a whole nutmeg berry that you grate fresh on a microplane because it creates the best flavor.” I thought, “wow, that’s a lot of nutmeg!” (a whole berry!). Anyway, it made more sense when I read it again. I really appreciate the “for two” recipes you develop; it makes life a little sweeter for both of us!

Since Horizon stopped making its organic eggnog I have been searching (and searching) for something that tastes as good. Found it! A little more work than buying eggnog at the store, but SO much better tasting [and no guar gum or carregenean (sic)]. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don’t use the bourbon since I don’t like the taste of most liquors and I think next time I might use a little more milk and a little less cream but your recipes are totally worth a little tinkering.

I halved the recipe and it came out great. I wanted it for an iced shaken espresso and it did not disappoint. Will make again before the year is over! Thank you ☺️

Since Christmas is over and egg nog is no longer available I thought I would make him some to try. He loved it . He kept saying it over and over again. I found the recipe easy to make so that was just an extra bonus. Thanks for a great recipe.

Made the eggnog. It makes two very small mugs-worth. Fair warning to those who love egg nog.

I’m the only one who likes eggnog, so the amount is perfect :) I saved half for later in the fridge…wondering how the folded in egg whites will hold once it cools. Delicious. Thank you for this recipe!

What kind of pan are you using? Is it very thin?

I tried this recipe several times and always ends up curdling when it’s not even boiling. Why? What am I doing wrong?

My mother was stressed and wanted “egg nog now!”. this was perfect for her with a dash of spiced rum. :)

I just finished making it and licked the spoon to get an idea of how it will taste–it is really, really good! Can’t wait to have one mug with Christmas morning breakfast and another with a shot of bourbon.

I am th eonly one in my family that likes egg nog – and I simply LOVE it. But it has never made sense to make any as the recipes are all for large quantities. THANK U SO MCH! I made this – loved it – drank all of it – and will be making more for myself again this weekend. Love your site and every time I try a recipe, it is a household keeper. Thrilled to be following you!
