How to Make Instant Pot Eggnog
A simple and delicious recipe for everyone this holiday season. All it takes are a few simple ingredients and a little holiday spirit.
- Before you get started making this recipe, you will want to ensure that you have everything ready. Gather all your ingredients and ensure that you have your Instant Pot trivet handy.
- If you have a candy thermometer you can check to ensure that the eggnog reaches 160 degrees when it is done. This will ensure that it is pasteurized, allowing it to last longer.
- Place your trivet into your instant pot and fill it with 4 cups of water.
- Set your baking pan inside of your Instant Pot and set it to the Sauté setting.
- While the water is heating up, whisk together the milk, sugar, heavy cream, eggs and vanilla. Make sure that they are well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the baking pan and add the cinnamon sticks and star anise.
- Cook, making sure to stir constantly for 8 minutes or until the eggnog has thickened.
- Serve this Eggnog either warm or cold. For a treat, try it chilled over ice.
Can You Use the Yogurt Setting to Pasteurize this Instant Pot Eggnog?
Unfortunately, using a candy thermometer is the best option to ensure that the Eggnog reaches the proper temperature. Using the yogurt pasteurize setting can cause the eggs to slightly scramble, ruining the texture.
How Long Does This Instant Pot Eggnog Keep in The Fridge?
We suggest you keep this in the fridge for 3 days at most. The good news? It probably won’t need to be stored that long as it will be long gone. It is so delicious.
