Eggnog Ice Cream

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel really lazy?

So lazy that you stop caring and then feel so completely unmotivated to do anything?

That's exactly how I felt when I decided to make eggnog ice cream.

I wanted ice cream.

I wanted eggnog.

And I most definitely wanted them together.

Eggnog ice cream. It just sounded so good.

But then again, I was feeling LAZY.

So what did I do?

I cheated.

I didn't make eggnog ice cream from scratch.

In fact, I scratched the whole scratch idea.

And this is the result.

Come on...you can't deny that it looks delicious! :)

Lazy Day Eggnog Ice Cream

For a semi-icy consistency:

• 1 quart eggnog
• 1/4-1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Spices to taste (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves--even pumpkin pie spice)

1. Stir all ingredients together and place into a chilled ice cream maker bowl.
2. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

For a creamier version:

• 3/4 quart eggnog
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1/4-1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Spices to taste (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)

1. Stir all ingredients together and place into a chilled ice cream maker bowl.
2. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
3. This will yield soft serve ice cream right out of the machine. Transfer to tupperware and freeze for a few hours to get "regular" consistency ice cream. 
4. You can even sprinkle the ice cream with some spices before serving.

Oh and by the way, Happy Christmas Eve :)
