Eggnog for Dogs: A dog-friendly eggnog custard recipe.
Eggnog is enjoyed by so many as a holiday treat, so why shouldn’t our dogs get to enjoy it too?! Our in-house certified canine nutritionist, Michelle Short, has whipped up a recipe for dog-friendly eggnog custard that you won’t want to miss this holiday season. Make a batch of this healthy dog treat for your favorite pooch and watch them lap it up with holiday glee!
Dog-Friendly Eggnog Ingredients:
– 6 eggs
– 8 tbsp powdered goat milk
– 1/4 water
– 1/4 tsp cinnamon (*must be Ceylon cinnamon not cassia)
– 2 tbsp pure Maple syrup
Recipe Instructions:
- Separate yolks and whites. If you want, keep 4 whites for making meringue cookies for the humans and 2 whites for “doggy whipped cream”.
- Whisk the yolks until they lighten in color.
- Whisk in the Ceylon cinnamon, maple syrup, and water.
- Slowly whisk in the powdered goat milk.
- Pour into mini ramekins for small dogs or normal ramekins for large dogs.
- Fill an oven-safe dish with water and place the ramekins in the water bath. The water should come up to about halfway on the ramekins.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until the tops of the custard are each very golden brown.
- Cool the custard, and then place in the fridge to chill. Leave the egg whites unwhipped until ready to serve.
- Beat the egg whites on high until they hold stiff peaks. Add a dollop or pipe on top of custard as “whipped cream”.
Nutritionist Pro Tip: This is a high calorie, rich treat so make sure to feed your dogs this eggnog/custard in small amounts as a rare treat. Too much may cause them to experience digestive upset.
