Copycat Dairy Queen Holiday Nog Shake
Creamy, spiced, and ridiculously festive — the classic holiday flavor made for sipping by the fire.
🧂 Ingredients
2 cups vanilla ice cream
¾ cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla pudding mix (optional — makes it extra creamy)
Whipped cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon stick for garnish
🧊 Instructions
Blend the base: Combine ice cream, eggnog, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pudding mix in a blender. Blend on medium until smooth and creamy.
Adjust texture: Add more eggnog if you want it thinner, or extra ice cream if you prefer it thick and spoonable.
Pour & garnish: Divide into glasses, top with whipped cream, a dusting of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick for flair.
💡 Tips & Notes
Freeze your glasses for 10 minutes before serving to keep the shake thick.
Want to go bold? Add a splash of rum extract or real dark rum for a grown-up version.
For dairy-free: use almond nog and oat milk ice cream — it’s lighter but still delicious.
