Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 large egg yolks
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup ice cubes
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- pineapple wedges or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine whole milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture until it is just about to simmer, but do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly spoon a ladleful of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Repeat this process with another ladleful of warm milk.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Stir constantly over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Once the mixture is chilled, add the pineapple chunks and ice cubes to a blender. Pour the chilled eggnog base into the blender as well.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If desired, add more ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
Pour the Frosty Pineapple Nog into glasses and top with whipped cream, if using.
Garnish with pineapple wedges or mint leaves for an extra festive touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
