Verandas Ghoulishly Delicious Pumpkin Spice Eggnog
Serves 8
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/2 can pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 – 1 cup Jack Daniels Bourbon
- 1/4 cup Frangelica
- 2 cups French vanilla ice cream plus additional ice cream for serving
Blend all of the ingredients in a standing mixer. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in each glass. Pour the eggnog over the ice cream, stirring occasionally to keep the mixture well-combined. Using a nutmeg grater, grate fresh nutmeg on top of each glass. Enjoy responsibly.
Pro tip: grate nutmeg using a little hand-held grater, like this handy little tool that Chuck Pennington found on a trip to Morocco.
