Ingredients
  

Eggnog Base
  • 3 cups store-bought eggnog or 1 recipe eggnog Use high-quality eggnog, like Southern Comfort.
Chocolate Ingredients
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Use good-quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup spiced rum Optional for a spirited version.
  • to taste whipped cream For garnish, use homemade or store-bought.
  • to taste chocolate shavings For garnish, use a vegetable peeler for thin curls.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the eggnog over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a gentle simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chocolate chips. Whisk continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. If using, stir in the spiced rum until thoroughly combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a heatproof bowl or pitcher. Serve immediately for a warm drink or cover and refrigerate for about an hour for a chilled version.
Serving
  1. Pour into decorative mugs and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.

Notes

For a more festive touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg alongside chocolate shavings. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
