Happy Boxing Day, everyone! For those who celebrate Christmas, it's time to put all those holiday worries away. And regardless of you got out any decorations this year, 'tis the season for discounted eggnog!
So, a while ago Marcus tried eggnog for the first time and said "This tastes like melted ice cream." We never followed up on that. At the time we didn't have an ice cream maker, and then we simply moved on to more entertaining culinary territory. But today I wanted to finally see if this works or not.
This machine had the most passive-aggressive warning sticker I've seen.
I was surprised at how well the eggnog whipped up as it froze.
Eggnog may taste like melted ice cream when you drink it, but it doesn't turn into decent ice cream. It had little bits of ice grit, but not the good kind of ice grit that comes in sorbet or water ice. And it became unexpectedly bland after it got cold. I thought it'd be something like a cinnamon-spice ice cream, but really it just tasted cheap.
But all was not lost. We simply let the eggnog melt and return to its natural state and then consumed it as the food industry intended.
