Egg-Nog Ice Cream

(update:  forgot to mention that I have a cool giveaway coming up - not one of my books either!)

Uh huh.  I realize we are past the holidays.  But, doesn't this look wicked good?!

And, if you have a love for anything egg-noggy as I do, you may have stocked up on those Vitasoy Holly Nogs when they were on special during Christmas.  Or, maybe you I snatched just one last "Noel Nog" last week because its expiry date wasn't until February.

Funny, I don't drink soy milks normally.  But give me 'noel nog' or that Vitasoy Peppermint Chocolate milk and I'm in there!  (and that Peppermint Chocolate milk is amazing warmed up for hot chocolate if you still have some of those in your pantry - tote it in your travel mug in the car!)

Back to the ice cream.   If you have some soy nog in your fridge or cupboard looking back at you, work it into my Egg Nog Ice Cream.  You'll need a blender to puree the milk with some other ingredients.  I use my Blendtec (man, I love that machine!), and then you pour the mix into your ice cream maker.  As I mention in my t/s article (that's all about ice cream luvin'), I use the ice cream attachment to the Kitchenaid stand mixer.  Very handy!

And, that's a new caramel sauce gorgeously clinging on to the egg-nog ice cream.  Maybe I'll get that recipe posted for you too.  It's SO good - and easy to make.  Get your spoons ready, folks!
