Good eggnog is a difficult balance between the right amount of alcohol, sweetness, and ease to make. This recipe strikes the perfect balance.
Ingredients
- 6 beaten eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp light rum
- 3 tbsp bourbon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- Nutmeg for topping
Directions
Step 1
In a large heavy saucepan mix the egg yolks, milk and the 1/3 cup of sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Place the pan in a sink or bowl of ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the rum, bourbon and vanilla. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Step 3
Just before serving, in a mixing bowl beat the whipping cream and the 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Transfer the chilled egg mixture to a punch bowl and fold in the whipped cream mixture. Serve at once. Sprinkle each serving with nutmeg.
