Sherry Egg Nog

So Christmas is long since over, and Egg Nog is not on the shelves anymore!  For some of us, that’s a pretty sad thought. (I LOVE egg nog)  I have tried egg nog recipes before that don’t taste good at all…  This one isn’t bad; and can satisfy that craving for Egg Nog; I think the addition of ice cream is really good.

We didn’t add the Sherry in our family, so we drank larger portions – I would say it gave us 4 glasses of Egg Nog.  I imagine the 12 – 15 servings that are indicated must be quite small; a courtesy drink, per say 🙂

Some people are against non-cooked eggs.  If this is you; add just the yolk and save the egg whites for scrambled eggs.  And nothing is better than a little nutmeg grated onto the top of eggnog, yum!
