    A glass of deliciousness. Eggnog combined with hot chocolate and a tad of raw cane sugar.

    Hot chocolate with eggnog is a truly divine combination! This excellent drink, which is served hot during the cold season, is prepared in a few minutes and will make you feel really cozy and comfy!

    The raw cane sugar refines the rich chocolate flavor, and the eggnog gives this lovely drink a festive touch!

    A perfect holiday drink and all-time holiday favorite, with which you can please yourself and your guests.

    Those eggnog lovers, who do not want to give up their eggnog even in the warm season, can also make themselves happy by simply replacing the hot milk with cold milk and ice cubes. 

    Another option for a boozy hot chocolate is our homemade Lumumba - hot chocolate with rum - we highly recommend, if you want to warm up on cold winter days, at home!

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Unsweetened cocoa powder - high quality
    • Milk - for making the hot chocolate
    • Milk - for milk foam
    • Homemade eggnog - or store-bought
    • Raw cane sugar or brown sugar - adds a fantastic flavor
    • Optional: cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for decorating

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    Step 1

    Take a small saucepan. Pour in the milk, and add the raw cane sugar and cocoa powder. While stirring, bring the mixture to a boil on the stove. 

    Step 2

    Place a drinking glass you will use for serving on the counter and pour the eggnog into it. Pour the boiled hot chocolate mix into it.

    Step 3

    Pour the remaining milk into a small jug and froth the milk with a milk frother or a small whisk. You can pour the "unfoamed" milk into your hot chocolate with eggnog first and then add the milk foam as a topping. 

    Finished. Now you can enjoy the delicious chocolate eggnog! 

    If you fancy, you can dust the milk foam with cocoa powder or sprinkle a few chocolate flakes as decoration before serving.

    Enjoy!

    🥜 Substitutions

    The wonderful thing about this drink is that it comes by itself low in fructose and gluten-free. 

    Those who need the chocolate eggnog drink lactose-free can replace the milk with almond or rice milk. Substitute the eggnog with a lactose-free kind or use rum, whiskey, etc., instead.

    🥗 Variations

    Replace the Eggnog

    A variation of this delicious beverage is to replace the eggnog with rum, Baileys, or other booze. By changing the liqueur in use, you can create many extraordinary variations!

    Infuse with spices

    Another way to enhance and vary the eggnog hot chocolate is to flavor it. This flavoring works wonderfully with ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, clove, ground nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger, or if you don't have any spices left at home, by using syrup of your liking. 

    🍽 Equipment

    • Small pot - for heating the milk
    • Spoon - for stirring
    • Milk frother
    • Small can - for frothing the milk
    • Drinking glass - for serving

    🌡 Storage

    Please don't store your prepared hot chocolate with eggnog. Make it fresh and drink it right after.

    💭 Top tip

    If you want to jazz up your eggnog hot chocolate, even more, try it with an additional coffee shot. A strong espresso works best. Give it a try, and let me know how you liked this version!
