Our Christmas Egg Nog...

This is the recipe for the egg nog we make at Christmas time...once you try this one, you'll never go back to the old way! Yummy!!

Mocha Egg Nog

6 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 cup kahlua (see substitute below)
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Garnishes: Ready Whip cream, chocolate sprinkles

Stir together eggs and sugar in a large saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 18 to 20 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat; stir in Kahlua, chocolate syrup and vanilla. Cover and chill 8 hours. Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold into chilled egg mixture. Garnish, if desired. (you can use 2 teaspoons of instant coffee instead of Kahlua for a non-alcoholic version)

(Definitely a break from the regular, boring eggnog. We love this one!)

Happy Holidays from our house to yours!
