Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Coconut milk
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until just starting to steam, but do not let it boil.
Gradually and carefully temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly adding the hot milk mixture, one ladle at a time, while whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
Once tempered, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pineapple juice, vanilla extract, dark rum, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Allow the eggnog to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
When ready to serve, pour the chilled Honolulu Eggnog into glasses, sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish, and optionally add a slice of fresh pineapple or a maraschino cherry for extra flair.
