Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ounce rum or whiskey optional
Instructions
- In a bowl or medium sized pot, add egg yolks and beat with whisk or hand mixer.
- Stir in sugar, mix well to combine.
- In another pan, add milk.
- Then add cream.
- Stir in spices and vanilla.
- Heat cream and milk, while whisking vigorously, over medium high heat to hot - but NOT boiling.
- Slowly temper eggs by pouring milk and cream mixture into eggs while whisking vigorously. Pour only a little bit of the cream and milk at a time, so you do not cook the eggs and make scrambled eggs!
- Whisk well when fully mixed.
- Return pot to stove and cook on medium heat, whisking vigorously, until eggnog thickens (about 4-5 minutes) - and reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit using a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and strain.
- Let cool in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve with a cinnamon stick and a bit of fresh nutmeg grated on top.
- Stir in a shot of rum or whiskey as desired.
- Can also be heated up to serve hot, if desired.
