Ingredients Needed:

• 1 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup eggnog
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream
• 1 maraschino cherry

How To Make Eggnog Shake?

1. Blend the shake: Add vanilla ice cream and eggnog to a blender. Blend for about 45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
2. Serve and garnish: Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

Recipe Tips:

• Use cold ingredients for the best texture: Keep your ice cream and eggnog very cold before blending. If they are too warm, the shake will turn runny instead of thick and creamy.
• Blend for the right time: Blend just until smooth—about 45 seconds. Over-blending can make the shake too thin, while under-blending may leave lumps.
• Adjust the thickness to your liking: If you want a thicker shake, add more ice cream. If you prefer it thinner, add a little more eggnog and blend again.
• Chill the glass before serving: Place your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring in the shake. This helps keep it cold and prevents it from melting too fast.
• Enhance the flavor with spices: For extra holiday flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon before blending. This gives it a warm, festive taste just like real eggnog!

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the leftover Eggnog Shake sit at room temperature until it is no longer ice cold. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. Stir well before drinking, as it may separate.
