Description

Rich and creamy eggnog with a hint of nutmeg. Step away from the dairy case, this thick drink tastes so much better than store-bought. 

Ingredients

  • 6  Egg Yolks
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar. Set aside.

In a medium sauce pan, combine cream, milk, nutmeg, and salt. Pour 1/2 cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture, and whisk constantly. This will temper the eggs. Continue adding a little at a time until fully combined.

Pour back into saucepan. Whisk constantly until a thermometer reads 160ºF. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.

Chill before serving.
