Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Kahlua
- 0.5 cup Dark rum
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
- 1 pinch Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, setting the whites aside for another use or discarding them.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring often to prevent scorching.
Slowly temper the egg mixture by gradually adding the warm milk mixture to it, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5–7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the Kahlua and dark rum. Adjust the amount of alcohol to your taste if desired.
Chill the eggnog in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, stir the eggnog well and pour it into glasses. Optionally, top with whipped cream and a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.
