Instant Pot

Ingredients

6 large Eggs
⅔ cup Sugar
2 cup Whole Milk
1 cup Heavy Cream
½ tsp Pure Vanilla
½ tsp Nutmeg

Instructions

Place trivet in the instant pot, along with five cups of water.
Turn on sauté setting and bring to a boil.
Mix eggs in blender until they are fully mixed. It will take about 15 seconds. Add sugar and blend until combined.
Finally, add milk, cream, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and mix for about 30 seconds.
Pour eggnog into a 1.5 quart Pyrex dish.
Place Pyrex dish on top of trivet in the hot water in the Instant Pot.
Water should come up about halfway on the sides.
Whisk the eggnog frequently while water comes back up to a boil. Once the eggnog reaches 150 degrees, switch Instant Pot to “keep warm” setting. Continue mixing frequently until the eggnog reaches 160 degrees.
Transfer to an airtight container and chill overnight or serve hot by ladling from the Pyrex.

Notes

Authentic Pyrex: I recommend using Pyrex, other brands may break in the hot water in the Instant Pot.

Thermometer: Use a thermometer to watch the internal temperature of your eggnog.

Storage: Homemade eggnog typically will last 2-3 days in the refrigerator when stored properly. Store bought last longer as it has other ingredients to preserve the mixture.

Alcohol: Feel free to add a splash of alcohol to make this a boozy eggnog recipe.

How to Tell if Recipe is Bad: Recipes made with raw eggs risk salmonella if not prepared properly. That is the reason to make sure that the temperature of the eggnog reaches 160 degrees. Then storing in the refrigerator will make sure you are always safe.

Ninja Foodi: If you choose to make this in the Ninja Foodi it will follow the same instructions as the Instant Pot. Use the Pressure cooker lid.
