The holiday season may be over, but that doesn’t mean the festive spirit has to end just yet. With leftover eggnog sitting in your fridge, why not turn it into something delicious? Forget about starting that pot of vegetable soup and sipping cucumber juice for now. Instead, indulge in a decadent treat by making eggnog milkshakes.
Whether you prefer a boozy version or a non-alcoholic one, there are plenty of flavor variations to explore. If your eggnog already contains liquor, you’re in for a boozy shake. Otherwise, you can choose to add a splash of brandy, rum, or bourbon to elevate the flavors.
To enhance the presentation and add a touch of extravagance, consider garnishing the rims of the glasses with crushed candies or other sweet treats. Mini chocolate chips, crushed peppermint bark, or tiny M&M’s are excellent options that can take your milkshake to the next level.
Preparing the milkshakes is a breeze. Simply blend vanilla ice cream with eggnog and any desired flavorings. For a classic vanilla shake, add a hint of vanilla extract. If you’re feeling more adventurous, try a Chocolate Eggnog Milkshake by incorporating chocolate sauce or a Mango Eggnog Milkshake with ripe mango chunks.
Once your milkshakes are ready, serve them in the garnished glasses for a delightful presentation. Top with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Enjoy these creamy creations immediately with paper or metal straws for a thoughtful finishing touch.
So, go ahead and treat yourself to a batch of eggnog milkshakes. It’s a simple yet impressive way to savor the last remnants of the holiday season.
