Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Eggnog
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoon Grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes until softened.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the eggnog, granulated sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is warm, but do not let it boil.
Add the softened gelatin mixture to the saucepan and stir until it is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Once the eggnog mixture is at room temperature, gently fold the whipped cream into it, combining thoroughly but carefully to keep the mixture airy.
Pour the mixture evenly into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top each dessert with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of grated nutmeg, if desired.
