Pumpkin Eggnog made from scratch is the most amazing fall taste ever. You will Love this drink!
Oh I know I’m not the only one who LOVES pumpkin and who LOVES eggnog right? I can’t be! Combining these two flavors for an amazing fall experience? For the best taste of fall? YES YES PLEASE! I know you guys will fall for this recipe (haha see what I did there???)
I’m going to tell you a few fun facts about Pumpkin Eggnog…My husband doesn’t love eggnog from the store. In fact he won’t touch it. After much begging he tried this and thought it was amazing (because it is). So, this is that recipe that restores people back to amazing real Eggnog. It’s different than store bought (which is FINE). If you are expecting it to taste exactly like store bought it won’t – it’s better! Also, it’s actually super easy to make. I promise. I thought it would take forever or be a lot of work – um nope. Pumpking Eggnog is super easy to make from scratch!

- A chilled bowl
