Eggnog, Eggnog Cheesecake Cake, and Eggnog Ice Cream

I suppose the feels of the Christmas season have made a bare and tiny entrance at the Roediger House, because last Saturday was an all-eggnog-all-day kind of kitchen endeavor. It started with making the base for eggnog ice cream, that I tucked away to chill in the fridge so that I could churn it in the ice cream maker the next day. 

Then, in a big pot on the cooktop, I made a batch of homemade eggnog. The preference here is that it be Baptist and alcohol-free, so it might not be to everyone's liking. 

Then I finished up those kitchen explorations with a new monstrosity: eggnog cheesecake cake. Yep: that's a layer of eggnog cheesecake between a couple of homemade spice cake layers, together with a delightful eggnog frosting.
