So maybe you think eggnog and peppermint ice cream don’t go together, but they do! It makes a very flavorful holiday combo. This ice cream punch is gorgeous, and the peppermint and eggnog combo is to die for, I promise! If you are an eggnog lover you’ll flip for this eggnog punch.
Ice Cream Punch
We think it’s perfect for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year’s parties. Or any other time you want dessert and a cocktail together. Like I do. Right now.
Serve these with crushed candy canes around the rim of the glass just to be extra. To rim your glasses with crushed candy, put the crushed candy on a plate. Dip the rims of the glasses into water and place on crushed candies to cover them. Repeat until all glasses are covered.
What Is Eggnog?
One of the main ingredients in this Christmas ice cream punch is eggnog. It really is quite delicious (if you don’t like it, too bad!) It is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks. In texture, it’s like fluid cream. In taste, probably like a custard, at least that how it is to me. It’s the perfect festive base for this tasty eggnog punch.
