Why I Love This Recipe!

I wasn’t much of an eggnog fan until college when I worked at Starbucks and fell in love with their eggnog lattes with gingerbread syrup. Now, I love adding eggnog into my holidays from Eggnog Cheesecake to Eggnog Pudding Shots!

This year, I wanted to develop a recipe that I could share with my daughter in the hopes that she will grow up loving eggnog as much as I do now. This creamy and rich hot chocolate was just the thing!

It’s easy, quick, and made with easily accessible ingredients!

Ingredients

This yummy holiday drink can be made with either a store-bought or Homemade Eggnog and a simple homemade hot chocolate mix made with cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and whole milk.

How To Make Eggnog Hot Chocolate

This stovetop hot chocolate is super easy to make! You just need a handful of ingredients and 10 minutes!

  1. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla to a small or medium saucepan.
  2. Then add the milk.
  3. Finally, pour in the eggnog and whisk together over medium heat until done.
  4. Remove from heat and pour into two mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows or enjoy plain!

RECIPE NOTE: This recipe makes 2 to 3 servings. If you only need one, just halve the recipe or you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat it on the stovetop.
