Author Notes: This is not my recipe, but I recognized this was a gem worth sharing right away. It's my boyfriend's stepmother's former receptionist's eggnog. (Did you follow that?) My boyfriend swears this is the best eggnog you will ever imbibe during the yuletide season. I haven't tried it myself, but I was so tickled that this recipe was preserved for 19 years that I had to post it. Happy holidays! - The Internet Cooking Princess - The Internet Cooking Princess
Food52 Review: We liked how this eggnog has a smooth, boozy base and mousselike cap, which encourages sipping. The ice cream is a completely unnecessary indulgence, and we highly recommend it. - A&M - A&M

I saw this when you first posted it and thought, "Anything with that much butterfat, booze and sugar has got to be good!" Is that a quart of ice cream that you use? The ice cream seems to be the magical one ingredient to distinguish this from all the other eggnogs we'll sip this season. Thanks for posting it!!
