Instead of whisking the ingredients by hand or hauling out the heavy stand mixer, let the blender do all the work in this easy eggnog recipe. Blend eggs, egg yolks, and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved, then add milk, rum, and bourbon. Finish by blending in heavy cream, and then let the eggnog chill in the refrigerator for an hour so the flavors come together. Serve with ice and freshly grated nutmeg on top. Remember to save a glass for Santa to reward him for all his hard work.
Special equipment: Don’t use a commercial-grade blender for this recipe, as the powerful motors in these appliances can heat up the mixture and cook the eggs.
