Just a few ingredients and you can create the milkshake version of everyone’s favorite holiday drink, eggnog. This recipe is nonalcoholic and completely safe for all ages (aside from those allergic to said ingredients). This creamy and delicious recipe will make around 20 servings so halve the recipe if you’re cooking for a smaller crowd (see our How to Halve a Recipe cheat sheet). I hope you enjoy this family recipe.
Start by using PASTEURIZED eggs. **Don’t miss this!** If they aren’t pasteurized you’re putting yourself and your guests at risk for salmonella. Pasteurized eggs cost a bit more but it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind…and is still cheaper than a milkshake you’d buy anywhere else. Once you buy pasteurized eggs this milkshake is as safe as drinking milk.
Divide the egg from the yoke. Look at my husband’s superb egg dividing skills!
This is my little girl helping add the sugar. She didn’t feel well and we thought a milkshake treat would help take her mind off of her sickness.
Just whipped egg whites and sugar. …and a partially rusted wisk. Ignore that.
My little helper is pouring the half and half into the combined whipped egg whites and whipped egg yolks.
After that has all been mixed by hand it’s time to add the ice cream. We’ve made this a time or two ten and we like it best when we use really cold, just from the freezer ice cream.
Then beat with a hand mixer till you get the milkshake consistency you want. You can sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon on top to your liking but we often enjoy it without either.
She loves it! And I hope you do too! I know it’s a little after the holidays but it’s still a great time to enjoy an egg nog milkshake.

Yum!! My entire family would love that. We’re all big fans of eggnog!
I’ve never tried my own eggnog before. Definitely looks like a delicious rich drink
This would be great for next Christmas.
That sounds absolutely delicious. I love eggnog and can’t believe I never even had any this past holiday season.
This sounds so yummy! I can’t wait to give this a try. I really like that everything is cooked, so there’s no chance of getting sick!
I LOVE eggnog. I never made my own, but I’d love to try this one. It looks wonderful!
That looks so delicious! I don’t usually like egg nog, but I feel like this recipe is for me.
I’ve never been a huge fan of eggnog unless it has a lot of rum. The thought of drinking eggs whether pasturized or not makes my stomach queasy.
YUM-eeeeeee This looks so good. I would add a bit of rum extract (or rum if the time was right) for a little bit of extra flavor.
I’ve never had eggnog either, mainly because I don’t drink alcohol. I can’t wait to try this fun recipe. Anything with ice cream is right up my alley.
This looks really good. I love Eggnog, but I can’t drink it due to allergies. I will have to make this for my husband and son.
now that is an eggnog drink I can get behind! It sounds absolutely delicious and I love that you used Pasteurized eggs for the safety.
This looks so good! Anything made with that much ice cream has to be good.
I think my husband would love this!
This looks and sounds so good. I love that it is safe for everyone!
Mmmm, I love Eggnog! Though technically the season has passed, I’d love to make this and sit back and NOT stress about the holidays now. lol 🙂
I love the different flavors you can add to egg nog. Egg nog is my favorite during the holidays.
Oh my stars does this look delicious! I bet it was a hit at all of your holiday get togethers!
Mmmm, looks pretty tasty. My cousin makes some every Christmas but I’ve never tried. This does look good though, I may have to give this a shot. Thank you for sharing.
My son tried egg nog for the first time last month. He said he liked it a lot. I’ll recommend this yummy shake to him!
My husband and kids would LOVE this milkshake. Pinning for later! (Are pasteurized eggs sold next to ‘regular’ eggs?)
Oh I love me some egg nog and nothing beats Blue Bell Ice cream! This looks so yummy!
Not much for egg nog. I may have to try this.
I love egg nog milkshakes! They are such a wonderful treat!
This looks so good! I love love love eggnog!
Yum! I love egg nog and I love milkshakes. This has to be one amazing drink! 🙂 Gonna give it a try!
I’m not a huge fan of Egg Nog, but it’s one of my hubby’s favorites! I’ll have to make this for my hubby!
My husband would love this he is a huge egg not freak! I’ve never tried it myself. This may be as good as it looks even though I’m super picky!
I’ve never tried making my own egg nog. I’ve always wanted to.
I never thought to make my own eggnog. Nor did I know about the difference in eggs. Looks amazing!
I love eggnog with a passion, it’s the perfect thing to drink during the winter weather; it makes me really happy!
I love egg nog and this version would be great for my kids to be able to try it as they always ask.
This looks delicious! My daughter is such a big egg nog fan… I am sure she would love a shake version, I will have to make this for her.
I love eggnog. Thanks for the recipe.
(BTW – pasteurized eggs are also great for making cookie dough truffles.)
I once tried to make my own egg nog, & failed…lol This recipe seems way better!
I’ve always been a chicken to make my own eggnog because I fear it would taste nasty or I would mess it up and make us all sick! Ha-ha you make it look easy. I do love a good glass of egg nog though.
I am a big egg nog fan! 🙂 It’s so delicious. We will have to try this!
Awesome, i’ve never made homemade egg nog. Thanks for the recipe!
What a cutie pie! It sure looks like that milkshake made her feel much better. Looks decadent and delicious!
Egg Nog is so good, I love it. I think I will be making this later today since I have all the ingredients.
Eggnog and milkshakes-sounds like a match made in heaven during the holidays!
My hubby loves eggnog! He’d go crazy for this!
This looks AMAZING! I love eggnog. Never had a milkshake with one, but it’ll be on my to do list!
This would save me a step. I usually pasteurize my eggs by tempering in a double boiler… this is way easier.
We love eggnog. I have never made it myself. Pinned your post – I will be giving this a try.
That sounds delicious! I had no idea you could by pasteurized eggs and that they were safe to eat raw!!! I learn something new everyday. lol
Goodness your egg nog recipe looks so delish. I love how you mix it in with ice cream. I’m adding this to my to do list.
My son (grown now) loves egg nog. I wonder if he’d like this too? I’m going to book mark it to print and send him.
My husband loves Egg Nog. He would totally love this milkshake!!
I honestly don’t like egg nog. I may have had it once. I bet it was a hit though
I would like to make some homemade eggnog with my girls. I was never a big fan of eggnog when I was a kid.
I’ve got to make this for my husband, he’d really enjoy it! My husband thinks Egg Nog should be enjoyed all year long.
I have never tried eggnog! There is just something about raw eggs that creeps me right out!
