From a boozy milkshake to an impressive Instant Pot cheesecake, we have recipes for you. Even those egg nog haters will like these sweet treats! Here, 8 ways to use up your leftover eggnog.
Overnight Cranberry-Eggnog Coffee Cake
This recipe from Taste of Home takes all the best things about the holidays and wraps them into a sweet delicious cake. Combining eggnog, cranberries, and pecans, mix these ingredients together, let them sit overnight in a baking pan, and bake this in the morning for the perfect coffee cake.
Eggnog Bread Pudding
All you need are three ingredients to make this sweet bread pudding from Little Sweet Baker. Just add cinnamon raisin bread and eggs to your eggnog for a custardy dessert or sweet breakfast.
Eggnog Mashed Sweet Potato Casserole
Your average sweet potato casserole gets an eggnog upgrade in this recipe from Savory! The crunchy, nutty topping is the perfect contrast to the soft and creamy mashed potatoes. The end result tastes like a pumpkin pie!
Bernie’s Burger Bus Eggnog Milkshake
This Goodtaste-approved milkshake is from Chef Justin at Bernie’s Burger Bus. If you have leftover eggnog on hand, skip the spices and add a couple splashes of the creamy seasonal drink for a milkshake shortcut! Psst: Don’t forget the whiskey or rum, either!
Mini Eggnog Bundtlette Cakes
In this Goodtaste original recipe, we’ve taken this rich and creamy drink and turned it into our dessert of the season: Mini Eggnog Bundt Cakes. These “bundtlettes” (how cute is that?) use store-bought eggnog to make the cakes rich and tender and flavor the milky glaze. For a final festive flourish, we top them with sugared cranberries and fresh rosemary.
Frothy Eggnog Latte
Once you’ve tried eggnog in latte form, you may never go back to the original version again! This recipe from The Kitchn is the perfect Christmas morning pick-me-up or end-of-meal treat.
Make-Ahead Eggnog Creme Brûlée French Toast
This custardy, decadent French toast bake uses leftover eggnog in the custardy base. The bottom caramelizes in the pan giving you a crackly, crème brûlée-like crust. Did we mention it’s also an excellent make-ahead brunch? Save this one for a lazy post-Christmas morning or a hearty New Years Day breakfast!
Instant Pot Eggnog Cheesecake
This recipe from Buns In My Oven is so genius — we wish we’d thought of it first! The even, consistent heat of an Instant Pot is perfect for cooking a cheesecake and gives you a perfectly smooth, creamy filling. The leftover eggnog flavors the filling for you, so you don’t need to buy any extra spices.
