Easy Eggnog Recipe
So call me crazy, but I had NO CLUE that making eggnog on the stove was maybe the most super simple thing ever. I assumed eggnog had to be made over hours and hours and could only be bought in stores (I KNOW). Well…good news everyone, that’s not the case.
This easy eggnog recipe is super fast (like, under 15 minutes), and so delicious and comforting. Thanksgiving and Christmas in a glass. I love the added flair the salted caramel brings to this classic drink. It’s just too good!
How to Make Salted Caramel Eggnog
This easy eggnog recipe is made in just minutes, you won’t believe it! I always thought I had to buy eggnog at the store…because clearly I’m not qualified to make something of this class and taste in my own home! But it’s so much easier than I thought, and I’m officially addicted. I especially love that this recipe can be made with or without the rum, so you can choose to make it for the whole family, or for adults only.
How to make this eggnog recipe:
- Combine milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg in a saucepan and heat. Remove from heat as soon as it starts to boil, then let it sit 5-10 minutes to cool.
- Beat eggs and sugar in a stand mixer, then pour it into the milk mixture and whisk quickly to combine.
- Mix in caramel and sea salt (and rum for alcoholic eggnog version).
The eggnog is ready to pour and serve at this point. If you’d like to get a little fancy, beat egg whites until they’re fluffy and start to peak, then add them on top of the eggnog. Don’t forget to garnish with extra cinnamon and caramel syrup! Check the recipe card for detailed instructions.

I love baking with eggnog but am not the biggest fan of drinking it. Although you may have changed that with the addition of salted caramel. Swoon.
