*It is important to note the alcohol levels in this recipe are kept to a minimum for a reason, too much alcohol will cause the ice cream mixture not to set. The alcohol content of most traditional eggnog recipes is too high to set properly when churning.

- 2 cups full cream milk
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
