Egg nog for Christmas

Egg nog for Christmas

Egg nog is not the typical Scandinavian drink – we do have a version of it, but we call it egg liquor and it’s not really the same. We also have a dessert that is whipped egg yolk and sugar, which can be somewhat close to this – but still, not. My family, on the other hand, have egg nog for Christmas every year. Why? because my stepmom is half American!

This is one of her many American traditions and I really, really love it. This has the perfect combination of being full, airy, light and so decadent. There’s a lot of recipes out there for Egg nog and I havn’t tried that many different ones – but I must say that this takes the cake! It’s easy and utterly delicious.
