It’s the perfect blend of creamy and sweet, with a touch of spice — ideal for sipping by the fire or serving at your next holiday gathering.

What Makes Caramilk Eggnog Special?

While traditional eggnog is a blend of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs, Caramilk Eggnog goes a step further. The addition of Cadbury Caramilk chocolate enriches the flavor profile, making it a delightful variation that’s bound to impress your guests. The spiced rum adds a subtle kick, infusing the drink with an extra layer of warmth and complexity.

A Brief History of Eggnog

Eggnog, a drink that dates back to medieval Europe, has long been a favorite at holiday gatherings. Initially known as “posset,” it was a blend of hot milk and ale or wine. Over time, the recipe has evolved, and today, it includes eggs and various spices. The drink crossed the Atlantic to become a staple of American holiday celebrations. Our Caramilk Eggnog is a contemporary nod to this rich history, blending age-old traditions with modern flair.

How to Serve Your Caramilk Eggnog

This luxurious eggnog can be served in a variety of ways. Go traditional with heatproof glasses or get festive with glass moose mugs à la “Christmas Vacation.” To add some pizzazz, set up a cocktail station with crushed candy canes, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings for garnish. Your guests will have a blast customizing their own drinks!

Tips and Variations

  • Simple Syrup: If you want to get extra fancy, you can rim the glasses with crushed candy canes using a dab of simple syrup as adhesive.

  • Mocktail Version: If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic version, replace the spiced rum with apple cider or a cinnamon-infused simple syrup.

  • Frozen Eggnog: Want to turn it into a slushy delight? Blend the eggnog mixture with crushed ice and serve it as a frozen treat.

  • Eggnog for a Crowd: This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to accommodate larger gatherings. Just maintain the ratio of ingredients, and you’re good to go!

Ingredients

  • 180 g Cadbury Caramilk chocolate
  • 1 cup Cream plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 4 Egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Spiced Rum
  • Nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare Chocolate: Use a vegetable peeler to shave 1 tablespoon off the block of Cadbury Caramilk chocolate. Set aside for garnish. Finely chop the remaining chocolate.
  • Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the finely chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and milk. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is close to boiling. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and sugar until the mixture turns pale and slightly thick.
  • Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the hot chocolate-cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan.
  • Cook Eggnog: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Avoid bringing the mixture to a boil. Stir in the spiced rum.
  • Serve: Divide the eggnog between two heatproof glasses. Top each with a dollop of extra whipped cream. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate shavings and a dash of ground nutmeg over the top. Enjoy!
