Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture until it is just about to boil, then remove from the heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale in color.
Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the vanilla extract, nutmeg, ground cinnamon, liquid stevia, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the egg nog to a medium-sized bowl or pitcher and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill before serving, or up to a day in advance.
Stir well before serving, and garnish with an extra dash of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.
