Cuisine American
Keyword drink, eggnog, eggs, holiday
Servings 1 Quart

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of cloves
  • 6 egg yolks room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • whipped cream optional
  • extra ground cinnamon or nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. Whisk very frequently while bringing the mixture almost to boiling.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine egg yolks and sugar whisking thoroughly.
  • Add about 1/3 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture; whisking thoroughly. Keep adding the hot mixture to the egg mixture; whisking thoroughly between each addition. When most of the milk mixture has been whisked into the egg mixture (about 3/4 of it)  add it back to the saucepan.
  • Cook until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F; whisking constantly. Use a spoon to reach those tight edges at the base of the pan. It will be slightly thick but will thicken more as it cools.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla. Chill and serve with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.
