Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) eggnog, chilled
- 2 cups (320 g) vanilla ice cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- whipped cream
- ground nutmeg (for topping)
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill a tall glass in the freezer to maintain optimal milkshake temperature and enhance beverage refreshment.
- Blending: Combine eggnog, vanilla ice cream, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a blender, pulsing until achieving a smooth, silky texture without visible chunks.
- Layering: Retrieve the chilled glass and gently pour the blended mixture, ensuring a clean and even distribution.
- Garnishing: Top the milkshake with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle an additional pinch of ground nutmeg for an aromatic finishing touch.
- Serving: Present the milkshake immediately with a straw or decorative spoon, inviting instant enjoyment of this festive seasonal treat.
Notes
- Optimize Chilling: Freeze the glass for at least 15 minutes to create a frosty surface that keeps the milkshake colder longer and enhances the drinking experience.
- Balance Consistency: Use equal parts eggnog and ice cream to achieve the perfect thickness, preventing the milkshake from becoming too runny or too dense.
- Enhance Spice Profile: Freshly grated nutmeg delivers a more vibrant and intense flavor compared to pre-ground spices, elevating the milkshake’s aromatic quality.
- Customize Dietary Options: Substitute dairy-free eggnog and vegan ice cream for a plant-based version that maintains the rich, creamy texture of the traditional recipe.
