Even if you’re not hosting a party, you can still have two mugs of eggnog on the couch! This Small Batch Eggnog<\/strong> is fully cooked to avoid any raw eggs, unless you want to stir in the beaten egg whites at the end–your choice! It tastes like melted eggnog ice cream, and I know you’re going to love it this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might assume that my brain instantly scales down everything to serve two. However, there are certain things I would never scale down. Like: chicken soup, chai flavored anything (except these pumpkin cupcakes<\/span><\/a>), and most cocktail recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, all eggnog recipes serve a crowd, requiring you to host a party to enjoy it. I want to make you a small batch of eggnog that you could whip up just as easily as hot chocolate. Eggnog should not be out of reach for couch sitting and Christmas movie binging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This small batch eggnog is quick, easy, and appropriately portioned for a household not<\/em> currently hosting a party. I love the way it tastes just like melted ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I make eggnog, I go the cooked route. So, this version is cooked all the way to a safe temperature. This avoids any potential food born illness from raw eggs. Also, it also thickens the eggnog instantly. If you want to be traditional, you can fold in the (raw) beaten egg whites before serving, but it’s entirely up to you. See the photos below for reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
