Easy Eggless Eggnog recipe can be made quickly in a blender with French vanilla pudding, milk, whipped cream and a few other basic ingredients! This homemade eggnog recipe tastes just like your favorite holiday drink, no eggs necessary!
Easy Eggless Eggnog has quickly become a favorite holiday drink at my house. My kids absolutely love eggnog and it is staple in our home around this time of year. I have seen homemade recipes for eggnog before, but was a little nervous to try a drink that you had to put actual eggs in and many of those recipes require a lot of cooking and stirring time as well.
For this homemade eggnog recipe, You only need a few basic ingredients for this version and after about 45 seconds in a blender, it is ready! It is better chilled, so allow for an hour or more in the refrigerator before serving. If the eggnog seems a little bit too thick when you are ready to serve, just add a little bit more milk and re-blend for a few seconds. I like to top mine off with a little bit of nutmeg, but I think a little dollop of whipped cream would look pretty on top too!
I will admit that I was a little bit skeptical about this recipe – I wasn’t sure it would actually taste anything like real eggnog. I was very surprised to find that it really does taste very close to the real thing! My kids actually think this version is better than actual eggnog, which is saying a lot because they have loved every eggnog they have tried. Anyone else done eggnog taste tests before with every single kind of eggnog you can find? Maybe that’s just my family. 😉

How do you whip cream?
Whipping cream is easy to do, especially if you know a little trick! Use a metal bowl and freeze it for at least 30 minutes before whipping the cream. This cuts so much time from the process! Before I learned this trick, it would take 8-10 minutes of beating the cream before it would get stiff, but now it only takes 3-4 minutes!
Place the whipping cream in the bowl immediately after removing the bowl from the freezer. Use an electric mixer turned up fairly high to beat the whipped cream. The whipped cream is ready when stiff peaks form as you lift up the beaters.

You should call this recipe Eggnog Substitute or Faux Eggnog, or more aptly French Vanilla Pudding Shake.. I am sure it is delicious but in my opinion if it doesn’t have eggs it isn’t Eggnog..
Shawna says
I am allergic to eggs, but, a rare case, I developed this life-threatening allergy as an adult. I loved loved loved eggnog as a kid. Thanks for this recipe. And I don’t agree with the other comment – eggless eggnog is a perfect name for this recipe as it describes it perfectly. The flavor and texture profile of eggnog without the egg.
Ellen says
How long is this good for in fridge?
Nellie says
It’s never lasted more than a day or two at my house, but it should be fine for at least 4-5 days in the fridge. 😉
Julie Hedlund says
Can you add rum to this recipe?
Nellie says
I’ve never tried!
Michelle Hanna says
You can add rum to anything. 😜
Jill says
Loved it! It was really thick after being in the fridge though, so I’ll only put half the package of instant pudding in next time.
Chris says
I tried making this because my mom didn’t want to consume raw eggs. It tastes just like the real deal! I couldn’t find any french vanilla pudding mix, so I used panna cotta instead, but it came out perfect.
The only thing is, this is a lot of eggnog. There was so much of it that it didn’t fit in my blender, so I had to use a bowl mixer. It’s definitely more than 6 servings. I’d say at least 12-15 servings.
