Raw Milk Eggnog Ice Cream
Nothing says the Holiday Season like homemade eggnog ice cream! This festive treat combines raw milk with the classic spices of eggnog for a decadent dessert that’s perfect for the holidays. Made with simple ingredients, it’s a must-try recipe for anyone who loves creamy, flavorful ice cream.
Equipment
- 1 Ice Cream Maker or kitchen-aid attachment
- 1 Blender or hand mixer
- 1 Ice cream scoop optional
Ingredients
- 5 fresh egg yolks
- 2 cups raw cream
- 1.5 cups raw milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Using a blender, combine all of the ice cream ingredients. Blend until just combined.
- Add the ice cream liquid to your ice cream maker or kitchen-aid attachment.
- You will need to follow the instructions for your ice cream maker, because they are all a little bit different. Make sure that the churn setting is at the lowest speed. Most ice cream makers take about 15-25 minutes. You can start checking it around 15 minutes and keep going until the ice cream is to your desired consistency. My kitchen aid attachment takes between 20 and 25 minutes usually.
- Once the ice cream is nice and thick, stop the ice cream machine. Serve fresh with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top!
Notes
- If you don’t have a blender or hand mixer, you can use a hand whisk to combine ice cream ingredients.
- For best results, make sure you follow the instructions specific to your ice cream machine. If you are using the kitchen-aid attachment like me, make sure that your bowl is completely frozen and has been in a freezer for at least 48 hours before making ice cream. I learned this the hard way, when I first got it the bowl wasn’t quite cold enough and my ice cream never came together.
- If using raw dairy / raw egg yolks concerns you, you can always heat those ingredients on the stove before making ice cream. Heat them at medium-low heat and make sure to completely cool the ingredients before adding them to the ice cream maker. I would recommend putting them in the fridge until cold!
- This ice cream is really soft and creamy, think like a soft-serve consistency. If you prefer your ice cream to be a little harder, you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes or so after it’s done churning.
- If you don’t have access to raw milk or raw cream, you can use whole milk and heavy cream instead.
