Open in Pepper →Eggnog Belongs In More Than A Glass
A carton of eggnog in the fridge is half a dessert already. It's sweet, thick, and full of vanilla and nutmeg, so it does the work in a pie filling or a pancake batter without you measuring out much else.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection in December, when there's a party to bring something to, a house full of people at breakfast, or a quart of eggnog that needs using up before it turns.
Every recipe here uses eggnog in some real way: Homemade Eggnog and Coquito for the glass, Eggnog Pie and Eggnog Cheesecake and Eggnog Poke Cake for the dessert table, Eggnog Pancakes and Gluten Free Eggnog French Toast for Christmas morning, and an Eggnog Espresso Martini for after the kids are in bed.
Quick Tips
- 1
Temper the egg yolks
Whisk a cup of the hot milk into the beaten yolks a little at a time before adding them back to the pot, or you'll get scrambled bits in your eggnog.
- 2
Cook to 160 degrees
Stir the custard base over low heat until it coats a spoon and reads 160°F, about 8 to 10 minutes, then strain it and chill.
- 3
Chill pies overnight
Eggnog pie and cheesecake need at least 6 hours in the fridge, and overnight is better, so the slices hold their shape.
- 4
Go easy on pancake heat
Eggnog batter has extra sugar and browns fast, so cook pancakes on medium-low, about 3 minutes a side.
