  • A&M's Testing Notes:

    We liked how this eggnog has a smooth, boozy base and mousselike cap, which encourages sipping. The ice cream is a completely unnecessary indulgence, and we highly recommend it. - A&M

    The Internet Cooking Princess's Notes: This is not my recipe, but I recognized this was a gem worth sharing right away. It's my boyfriend's stepmother's former receptionist's eggnog. (Did you follow that?) My boyfriend swears this...

Sorry, that was was the eggnog typing. I meant 'is' - not 'us'. Oops?

I saw this when you first posted it and thought, "Anything with that much butterfat, booze and sugar has got to be good!" Is that a quart of ice cream that you use? The ice cream seems to be the magical one ingredient to distinguish this from all the other eggnogs we'll sip this season. Thanks for posting it!!
