AKA - Egg-Not
"This is the classic holiday drink, with all of the creaminess and flavor but skipping the raw eggs traditionally used in eggnog."
This is that rich, sweet, and creamy homemade egg nog recipe that captures the holiday flavor of this classic drink all while skipping the raw eggs. Serve ice cold garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. I like it with a dollop of whipped cream. It will give you peace of mind when serving this classic holiday beverage to your guests, and it will reassure anyone who is not open to the concept of drinking raw eggs or has as an allergy to them. Even if you’re not worried about raw eggs yourself, for safety and simplicity, this eggless eggnog (Egg-Not) recipe is a good way to go.

Once pudding is thick, add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Chill for 2 hours or more for best quality and taste.

Notes:
Vegan variations:
Replace the whole milk with your choice of dairy-free milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk.
Swap the vanilla pudding mixture. Replace it with vegetarian Instant Vanilla Pudding.
Replace the heavy cream, use coconut milk or a non-dairy heavy cream.
Non-Alcoholic variations:
Skip the liquor and enjoy it as is.
If you’re missing the traditional boozy notes, use any non-alcoholic whisky or rum.
You can blend the orange zest, nutmeg and cinnamon right into the drink mixture or blend some in and give each glass a little sprinkle, which looks super festive.

"I love eggnog, so I was skeptical about how this would taste. It is delicious!! Now I can drink eggnog year-round and not wait for the commercial eggnog that is sold only in Nov. and Dec. (I never made homemade eggnog using eggs because of concerns over salmonella.) Thanks for the recipe!!" ~ Party Attendee
