Quick, easy and delicious recipe for thick EggLess Eggnog made with standard pantry ingredients (boozy or not!) and the must have drink for Christmas !
Post and images updated November 2018
I have never had Eggnog before ! It always looks and sounds so delicious.
However, I am not one for raw egg. And every recipe I have seen contains raw egg and I had gone in search of an Eggless Eggnog recipe.
I suppose it should then only be called Nog, right ? But I am not sure everyone would know what that is !
Interestingly, NOG means “more” in my one home language Afrikaans. We speak both English and Afrikaans on both sides of our families.
Until a couple of days ago when Mandy from MANDY’S RECIPE BOX shared an eggless eggnog recipe!
I could hardly wait to try it out … and when I finally did — Delicious !
The only change I made was to use Caster Sugar (superfine sugar) instead of normal sugar. Other than that, I followed her recipe which can be found here.
When my son, who is normally very fussy, tasted this the first time, he finished two tall glasses and gave his nod of approval immediately !
Update November 2018 : Over the years I am still using this recipe, but have also added Rum, instead of Rum Extract. The quantity varies to how we prefer the Eggnog.
Stir in the Rum just before serving, not as with the extract which gets added before chilling.
However, I still make non-boozy batches as well, as we now and then have kids over Christmas time, and I, myself do not drink a lot of alcoholic drinks.

I used to always rink raw egg eggnog growing up.. The thought of it now makes me ill. I've made my own eggnog recipe (unfortunately it's not up on the blog yet) that tempers the eggs and then adds them back into the liquid to continue to slowly cook them without scrambling. I've had great success with it and even my mom thinks it's better than the raw egg version, not to mention safer! Also, it will stay fresh a little longer in the fridge, although we've never had a problem finishing off 2 gallons (roughly how much the recipe makes) within the first 2 days!
