A2 Protein Dairy Eggnog Recipe
Ready to make some holiday magic? Here’s a quick and simple recipe for A2 protein dairy eggnog that’s sure to impress your guests (or just keep for yourself—no judgment here!).
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to your sweetness level)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish!)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups Walker Farms 3.25% A2 protein milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup bourbon or rum (optional, but oh-so festive!)
- Freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
Instructions:
- Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Heat the dairy: In a saucepan, gently heat the A2 protein milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot, but not boiling.
- Temper the eggs: Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the eggs while whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from scrambling. Once combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook and thicken: Return the saucepan to low heat and stir constantly until the eggnog thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon—about 5–7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid boiling.
- Add the booze (optional): Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in bourbon or rum, if you’re in the mood for a boozy version of eggnog. For a family-friendly treat, feel free to skip this step!
- Chill: Let the eggnog cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavour.
- Serve and garnish: Pour into glasses, sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg, and enjoy the festive goodness!
