Ingredients

1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 cup egg nog
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Whipped cream (to serve; optional)

Instructions

Place 1 pint vanilla ice cream in a blender. Add 1 cup egg nog. Blend. Add more egg nog if you want a looser consistency.

Notes

Flavor Variations

Vanilla Egg Nog Milkshake: Use the optional 1/2 teaspoon or so in the recipe if you want to bump up the vanilla flavor.
Chocolate Egg Nog Milkshake: Make the vanilla version above, skip the vanilla extract, and add 1/4 cup chocolate sauce.
Mango Egg Nog Milkshake: Make the vanilla version above, skip the vanilla extract, and add 1 very ripe mango, peeled and cut into chunks.

Garnishing the Glass Rims

Place some tiny or crushed candies or other little sweet things in small bowls (but bowls big enough for the glasses to be dipped in upside down). You can use mini chocolate chips(try to find the super mini chips if you can, available at baking shops and places where baking supplies are sold), crushed peppermint bark or candy canes (these may well be hanging around your home at this time of year as well) or m ‘n m’s.
