Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Dark rum
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Allspice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 4 sticks Cinnamon stick (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Grated nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, coconut milk, and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. This process tempers the egg yolks and prevents them from scrambling.
Gradually add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a pinch of salt.
Pour the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any lumps. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
Before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir and pour it into glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
