Velvety, rich eggnog simply blended with creamy vanilla ice cream. Topped with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinked with ginger snap cookie crumbles.
Depending on where you live, I can bet you are experiencing some winter coldness! At least that’s what it’s doing where I live. We get to have snowy weather all weekend long! I enjoy a lazy, snowy day.
So, I’m sure you’d assume I was about to share with you a hot, cozy beverage…
Nope. It’s simply a very cold milkshake. Not just any milkshake, though. One with eggnog and ginger snaps.
How about cozying up with an Eggnog Milkshake with Ginger Snaps Crumbles!
Eggnog is so seasonal…I say it with some sarcasm. Because, they sell pumpkin all year round. Why not have the eggnog in the dairy section in June? I know my boys would be content knowing that it was always available.
When I shared with you my {No Bake} Eggnog Pie very recently, I mentioned that I do not like to drink the stuff…I just like the flavor. As I’ve learned, some of you are the same way. So glad I’m not the only one!
But, since eggnog is constantly in my refrigerator all season long… I try to be at least a little bit creative with the creamy beverage before the boys devour each quart in one sitting.
In this case, vanilla ice cream is involved. And, then why not just add the whipped cream all over the top. While you’re at it, garnish with some ginger snap cookie crumbles!
Super easy to put this milkshake together. Ready for it…
Simply pour the eggnog in the blender first. Then put in the scooped ice cream. Yep. It’s that easy.
But, I’ve made this so many times, through so many seasons of eggnog that I have it down pat for the right consistency. I like a smooth, thick shake that I can drink through a straw. Not too thick and definitely not too thin. The Cookie Dough Vanilla Milk Shake is a little different…with one like that, you straight up need a spoon with your straw!
Go ahead and enjoy a chilly Eggnog Milkshake this holiday season! But, remember the crumbled ginger snaps…it really gives it even more character!
- 10 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 ginger snap cookies, crumbled
- whipped cream
- In a blender, pour in the eggnog.
- Add ice cream. (Blends better if the ice cream is a little on the soft side.)
- Blend until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add a little bit more eggnog to your liking of consistency.
- Top it with whipped cream and cookie crumbles.
- Enjoy!
- This makes one 18 ounce shake. You could definitely make this into two small shakes, as well.

I totally agree, I wish they sell eggnog year around too! It’s freezing cold now here in the SF Bay Area but I can totally go for a glass of this milkshake! 🙂 I now have another way of drinking eggnog other than my latte –yay! Love this recipe Gloria and pinned! Have a fantastic week! xo

I’ve never tried it was a latte yet, Anne…but I know my boys would be all over that. (They are the coffee drinkers in the house.)
As soon as I saw this on Instagram I rushed to your blog. Sigh, I’m in love!
Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl recently posted…Autumn Spiced Whole Roasted Chicken
You’re so sweet, Pamela. Glad it caught your eye! (=
Every time I grocery shop I stop in front of the eggnog, take a deep breath and resist the urge to buy it. At least I know how I will get rid of it next time I buy a carton!
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting recently posted…Candy Cane Poke Cake
You are too funny, Julianne! I totally know those resisting moments at the store…but I don’t think I even have a tinge of self control! (=
I could be down with eggnog being available year round…actually I do think I have seen it in a can in my store all year long. Not quite the same as the refrigerated one I’m sure. Love this delicious milkshake with the cookie crumbles!!!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted…Peppermint Crunch Oreo Truffles
I’ve never seen it in a can before for all year long. That’s a great idea for when making something with the it as a side ingredient. Especially how some of us foodies like to make things ahead of the season! Thanks, Jocelyn!
Ok, you officially got me wanting to drink eggnog! This is a no brainer; a scoop of vanilla ice-cream should accompany eggnog every time! I love the crumbled cookie on top too! PERFECT!
tahnycooks recently posted…Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Creamy Spicy Garlic Dip
Tahny, the vanilla ice cream totally tones down the texture of the eggnog. That’s why this is the only way that’ll I’ll even *drink* it! Hope you’re having an adventurous day today! (=
I am so doing this with my kids they next time we decided to bundle up and watch movies all day and just veg out! Seriously they are going to love this!

Nancy, your kiddos will love making this…and eating/slurping this, for sure!
It’s been cold and rainy all day here too but I have no problem getting cozy with a glass of this dreamy milkshake 🙂 Love the addition of whipped cream and cookie crumble on top. Pinning and hope you have a great week Gloria!
Thank you, Kelly! (=
OMG I love all things eggnog and this milkshake? With those crumbles? I’m sold.
Aimee, you’re so kind…thank you!
I’m loving all your eggnog desserts! Yum, yum, yum! And pinned. 🙂
On another note – I love how you have your recent posts in your header! Is that a plugin?

Count me in for egg nog all year round! I anxiously await it’s arrival each fall and mourn it’s departure after the holidays!. This looks delicious
I have to agree with the mourning when it departs, Leigh Anne! This season flies by so fast as it is! Have a wonderful Monday!
Oh. My. Goodness. This milkshake look FABULOUS Gloria! Pinned!

Oh, WOW – this looks delish!!!
Thank you, Kristyn! Your kiddos might think this is fun to have during the holidays. (=
This looks mega-delish!! Just pinned to my holiday board! 😀
Kristi @ My San Francisco Kitchen recently posted…Bulgur with Chickpeas, Cranberries, and Cucumber
I love eggnog, but gosh it’s SO unhealthy…not that that stops me. 😉 I eat ice cream 365 days a year. So yes, it’s cold here in CT and I crave soups and hot cocoa. However, I would not hesitate to whip up this cold beverage!
Have you ever seen Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase? It’s a family tradition to watch that movie 5 times over every holiday season. Last year, my parents gave each son-in-law a moose cup…a knock off from the ones they use in the movie to drink eggnog. My dad would crack up if I made this shake and served it to him out of that moose cup. Lol!
Tina @ Tina’s Chic Corner recently posted…Italian Tortellini Soup
I so remember all of the Chevy Chase movies! That would be hilarious if you did that with that mug! lol
I have never been able to drink eggnog straight up but making a milkshake is going to make me want some!!! This looks so good! My husband is one of those that wants eggnog everyday of the year and I know he will love this.
Zainab @ Blahnik Baker recently posted…Brown Butter Pumpkin Sage Bread
Then you are just like me, Zainab! I couldn’t stop drinking this…but I refuse to drink it straight. Your hubby would like this then. (=
What am I going to do with you and all these egg nog recipes, Gloria? I’m going to gain 10 pounds for sure if I keep reading your blog, but it will be so worth it!

How delicious! Normally I spring for from-scratch recipes, but with the holidays around the bend, who has time for that? This sounds delicious and your photos are terrific. Pinning! Thank you for sharing a creative idea with us.
You are so nice, Jelli! I’m the same way with things from scratch…and sometimes it just gets too darn busy! (=
This looks so delicious!! Just saw this at Marvelous Monday link party. I LOVE eggnog….and as a milkshake??? GENIUS!!!

You are so right, Winnie! That would be fun…(=
As crazy as it sounds, I love the flavor of egg nog, but not how much it reminds me of really “thick” milk – if that makes sense?! I am totally down with milkshakes though 🙂 Pinned this – and I love the ginger snap crumbles too! Perfect winter milkshake! Thanks for linking up to Freedom Fridays – I hope you and your family have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving, Gloria!
Jamie, I am so with you on the whole texture thing of eggnog. That is why I will eat/drink everything else related to it…not just by itself. Hope you have a fun and safe holiday, as well! (=
Just stopping by to let you know that you had the most viewed link at last week’s Freedom Fridays 🙂
Yayyyy!! You just made my whole night, Jamie! (=
