Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Rum or bourbon (optional)
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy.
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat the mixture gently, stirring often, until just steaming—do not let it boil.
Slowly temper the egg yolk mixture by adding the hot milk mixture a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
Once fully combined, return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should reach a temperature of about 160°F (71°C).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pineapple juice, orange juice, and a pinch of salt. If desired, mix in the rum or bourbon at this stage.
Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any potential lumps.
Cover the eggnog and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Pour it into glasses and garnish with a pinch of nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for added flair. Serve cold and enjoy!
