Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Raspberry puree (strained, no seeds)
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Raspberry liqueur
- for topping Optional: Whipped cream
- for garnish Optional: Fresh raspberries or mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and ground nutmeg. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm and steamy but not boiling.
Gradually and carefully pour a small amount of the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Continue to slowly add the warm milk while whisking until fully combined.
Return the tempered eggnog mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and strained raspberry puree. If desired, add raspberry liqueur for an extra flavor boost. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the Raspberry Eggnog to a pitcher or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Before serving, gently stir in a handful of fresh raspberries to infuse the eggnog with a pop of natural color and texture.
Pour the Raspberry Eggnog into glasses. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh raspberries or mint leaves, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this festive and fruity take on classic eggnog!
