I love Christmas so much that I decorate in October. I don't care for eggnog, but it's such a tradition at Christmastime that I created an eggnog that I even like! —Debbie Holcombe, Brunswick, Georgia

Chocolate Eggnog Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Cook: 15 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

6 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
4 cups 2% chocolate milk, divided
3 cups chocolate ice cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Optional toppings: whipped cream, ground nutmeg and/or chocolate curls

Directions

In a small heavy saucepan, whisk eggs and sugar until blended; stir in 2 cups chocolate milk. Cook and stir over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until mixture is just thick enough to coat a spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a large bowl.
Stir in the ice cream, vanilla and nutmeg until blended. Add remaining chocolate milk. In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; stir into eggnog mixture. Transfer to a pitcher.
Refrigerate, covered, until cold. Stir just before serving. If desired, serve with toppings. Yield: 12 servings (2/3 cup each).
