Traditional eggnog, like this one, is made with a combination of dairy, eggs, sweeteners, and spices. These ingredients come together to create the classic flavour profile of eggnog—creamy, spiced, and slightly sweet. However, it's worth noting that there are many variations of eggnog recipes, including healthier versions, such as this one, that use plant-based milks, alternative sweeteners, and other modifications to reduce calories and saturated fats. Additionally, pasteurized eggs or cooked egg bases are often used to address safety concerns associated with consuming raw eggs.
