Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup brandy, rum, or bourbon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside for another use or discard them if not needed.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they become slightly lighter in color and creamy in texture, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the sugar to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg. If using alcohol, add it at this stage and mix well.
Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher or serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, give the eggnog a quick stir, then pour into individual glasses.
Garnish each serving with a light sprinkling of ground cinnamon. Serve cold and enjoy!
