Easy homemade eggnog

You only need a few ingredients and a blender to make this recipe. Believe it or not, your delicious homemade eggnog is ready in just 10 minutes. We recommend that you put it in the fridge, of course, because it tastes even better when it’s cold!

Ingredients

• 5 egg yolks
• ¼ cup white or spiced rum (you can adjust the amount of alcohol to taste)
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation method

• First separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. To do this, you can break the egg against the rim of a bowl and let it drain. Another option is to use the two halves of the shell. Pour the yolk from one half of the shell to the other to allow the whites to run out.
• Then put the yolks in the blender and blend for three minutes. This makes the yolks fluffier.
