Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Bourbon
- 1 cup Dark rum
- 0.5 cup Cognac
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Freshly grated nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
- 6 large Egg whites
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the whole milk, heavy cream, bourbon, rum, and cognac to the yolk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure everything is well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and freshly grated nutmeg. Set the mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the prepared eggnog base. This will give the eggnog a light and frothy texture.
Transfer the eggnog to a large pitcher or punch bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until completely cold.
Before serving, give the eggnog a quick stir to ensure it is well-mixed.
Ladle the chilled eggnog into cups or glasses, and garnish with a light sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg on top.
