Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together eggnog, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch has fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to steam but does not boil.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together until smooth. Slowly temper the yolks by adding about 1/2 cup of the warm eggnog mixture to them, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the mixture, stirring constantly.
Continue cooking the pudding over medium heat while whisking, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 3-5 minutes). Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl or individual serving glasses. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, top the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your festive eggnog pudding!
