I like this recipe, I did use coconut milk due to lactose issues, and I used cinnamon b/c I ran out of nutmeg. I also tempered the eggs to avoid lumpy egg nog.

Really good! I took the advice of others and doubled the nutmeg and added allspice. I also used half skim and half half and half (lots of halfs). This took quite a bit longer to cook up and thicken, but I have really heavy pans and a glass cooktop so it could have been that. Make sure to pour this thru a strainer after cooking to avoid pieces of cooked egg in your nog! Thanks for the recipe.

This was great to use as a guide. My kids like the "Hood" brand of sugar cookie eggnog. This is not as sweet so we did tweak it a bit. We used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup brown sugar. The milk was subbed with half and half. We added 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract. Very rich and decadent but hey, it's the holidays! :) And... for an adult beverage you can add a healthy dose of rum to suit your taste. Soooo good!

I'd give it 5 stars but some adjustments need to be made to get it just right. A blender will take care of any custard chunks. This is a light and refreshing nog, for sweeter and creamier eggnog like the junk from the supermarket add more sugar to taste and two cups less milk.

I was not too excited with this recipe...I love the thick creamy eggnog like you buy in the store. When I made this recipe according to directions it was barely thicker than milk without much flavor or sweetness. I tried to cook up a few more eggs with extra sugar and a little less milk to try to thicken it up and add some flavor, but it didn't work very well. Maybe because you have to have certain proportions of egg, milk, and sugar, but both times I cooked the egg mixture I had chunks of cooked egg even though I stirred it constantly over medium heat. If you don't care for the thick traditional store-bought eggnog you may like this milder version, but I probably won't make it again.
