eggnog cocktail

Rich and creamy, this Homemade Eggnog is spiked with rum to make the most delicious eggnog cocktail. It&#39;s made with tempered egg yolks for a thick, creamy texture and served topped with whipped cream for a decadent holiday drink.

Homemade Eggnog

sugar

heavy whipping cream

milk

nutmeg

salt

rum ((or brandy

vanilla extract

whipped cream (,

nutmeg (, for garnish)

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, milk, nutmeg, and salt. Stir often until mixture is steaming and reaches a bare simmer (do not let it boil.)

Temper the eggs: Add a big spoonful of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Repeat, adding a big spoonful at a time.

Once most of the hot milk has been added to the eggs, pour the mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.

Whisk constantly for just a few minutes, until the mixture is just slightly thickened (or until it reaches about 160 degrees F on a thermometer). It will thicken more as it cools.

Remove from heat and cool for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Add in the alcohol and vanilla.

Pour the eggnog into a pitcher or other container and cover with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours. It will thicken as it cools. (If you want a thinner, completely smooth consistency, you can add the entire mixture to a blender with 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk and blend until smooth.)

Serve with piped whipped cream and a dash of freshly grated nutmeg.NOTES: For a kid-friendly version, simply omit the alcohol - everything else stays the same. This recipe uses just the egg yolk and not the whites, but don&#39;t toss them! See below for ways to use them. Also see below for ways to use leftover eggnog. For other tips and FAQ&#39;s, please refer to the article.
