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!
Mini Eggnog Bundt Cakes
In this Goodtaste original recipe, we’ve taken rich and creamy eggnog and turned it into our dessert of the season: adorable but elegant bundtlettes! Store-bought nog will do the trick to make the cakes rich and tender and flavor the milky glaze. For a final festive flourish, 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 Kitchn recipe is the perfect Christmas-morning pick-me-up or end-of-meal treat.
Make-Ahead Eggnog Crème Brûlée French Toast
This custardy, decadent French toast bake from How Sweet Eats 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 Year’s 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 an utterly smooth, creamy filling. The leftover eggnog flavors the filling for you, so you don’t need to buy any extra spices.
