I hope you are enjoying all the holiday recipes floating around the internet as much as I am. I love the food this time of year! It’s just so cozy and wonderful.
I have recipes on my blog using Eggnog. I love baking with the stuff. But I am not a huge fan of drinking it straight. Today I made my own Eggless Eggnog. I like it! I can drink it! And there are no eggs in it.

It comes from Gooseberry Patch’s cookbook The Christmas Table.

It’s full of great Christmas recipes in tasty categories…

Now bring on the Eggnog!

I love wassel, but never want to make eggnog because of the raw eggs. I will be making this one. Sounds great. Thanks
I have to admit, I am a huge eggnog fan! Thanks for hosting the giveaway, and congrats on 5K likes!!
I think that is BRILLIANT! I am pinning this and will definitely be making it over the holidays. I am SO happy you shared Mandy – thanks.
I love wassail, but also eggnog!
I have never tasted eggnog, can you believe it???
Eggnog is my favorite Christmas drink…I look forward to this time of year just so I can drink it!!! Now I will be able to have it year round:-)

My favorite holiday beverage is a Peppermint Mocha!
Peppermint cocoa with lots of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top!
Mint Hot Cocoa!
I would have to say Mulled Wine
I really don't have a favorite beverage! I'm diabetic, so I try to drink low sugar stuff – to be able to enjoy the other treats a little more. 😀 My whole family, however, really does like eggnog and considers it a real treat! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, and the generous giveaway! Merry Christmas!
Hot Chocolate!
Thank you so much for this recipe!<br />We don't have here eggnog and now how I see it quite easy-to-make at home.<br />I'm saving this recipe. Thanks!!
Sounds delicious. No icky raw egg!
Sounds yummy!
I want to make the eggnog coffee cake. If I make it to the finishing step can I freeze it or do I need to do the topping and glaze after it comes out of the freezer?
My favorite Christmas beverage is Hot Chocolate.
Coffee Bean's White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha….DELISH!!
I'm in LOVE with this. Maybe I don't like eggnog all too much because the idea of drinking raw eggs is about as appealing as sticking a fork in my eye. But this nog looks fantastical, Mandy!
Mine would be hot cocoa but with my tummy not functioning I can't have anything! 🙁 Would luv to win a cookbook! Gooseberry Patch cookbooks are my fav.<br />Jamie<br />j-pennington@live.com
This looks really good! I was wondering if there is anything I can substitute for the rum extract. I would like to stay away from the alcohol that is in the rum, if possible.
I’ve been looking for a GREAT egg free eggnog, search is over! So excited to find this!
I guess you could call this pudding nog? lol
Love this! Perfect solution for those who don’t like the eggy version!
Thanks, Anna!
I’m not a huge fan of eggnog, but this version does sound tasty
Thanks, Heather. Same here!
I love eggnog and I am very intrigued about this having pudding in it! Definitely need to give it a try!
I’ve never made eggnog, but this looks super easy like I could handle it!
Do you know the nutritional value for this recipe? Sounds good. Wondering what it would taste like if you used lower fat dairy products, have you or anyone tried that?
I don’t know the nutritional value. I’m sure you could find a tool online for that.
