Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Eggnog (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Adjust to taste

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the eggnog, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until everything is well blended.
  3. Gradually add the melted butter and stir until absorbed into the mixture.
  4. If using dark rum, slowly stir it in now to incorporate the flavor.

Notes

This spread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to three months. For a vegan version, replace eggnog with a plant-based version and use coconut oil instead of butter. Adjust sweetness and spices to your liking for a personalized taste.
