16 Recipes Starring Eggnog To Try This Season

Eggnog could very well be one of the most controversial of seasonal flavors. While some people detest the sweet beverage, others simply can’t get enough recipes using eggnog to fully satisfy their cravings. I tend to fall into the second camp, but I like to satisfy my eggnog fix in the most creative ways.

While it’s important to have some easy eggnog recipes on hand to make your winter soirées as festive as possible, it’s worth a shot trying to use eggnog in baked goods as well. It could add some oomph to your morning coffee, and add some extra richness to cookies and cakes. Plus, this ingredient isn’t around all year — so you might as well make the most of it while you can. Seasonal recipes are an important part of our diet, especially when it comes to the sweeter things in life.

Instead of just settling with a carton of ‘nog, try something new! ‘Tis the season to get cozy with plenty of desserts and a treat yo-self attitude. Whether you’re planning on hosting a major holiday bash or you’re just trying to Netflix and chill all through the season, any night can be made a little more festive with one of these treats.
