Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl with a mixer at high speed, beat 6 egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In a small bowl with a mixer at medium-low speed, beat the 6 egg yolks and 1/2 cup Karo dark corn syrup about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored.
- Add 1/2 pint half and half cream and beat until well mixed.
- Fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture.
- If desired, stir in 1/4 cup dark or light rum.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- Place 1 pint vanilla ice cream in a punch bowl.
- Pour the egg nog mixture over the ice cream.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before beating. If you want a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum or replace it with additional half and half. You can also use light or whipped cream instead of half and half for a lighter punch. Sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon on top for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this festive egg nog punch in a large punch bowl for holiday gatherings. Pair it with light appetizers like Cream Cheese And Chili Dip or a slice of Bake-Rite Pumpkin Bread for a delightful contrast. Garnish with additional nutmeg or cinnamon sticks for a beautiful presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover egg nog punch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The ice cream will melt, so give it a good stir before serving again. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the ice cream will change and it may separate upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use pasteurized eggs instead of raw eggs?

To make a dairy-free version, substitute the half and half with coconut cream or a nut-based cream. Additionally, use a dairy-free ice cream alternative for the vanilla ice cream to maintain a creamy texture.
