BUTTERSCOTCH SCOTCH EGGNOG



Butterscotch Scotch Eggnog image

In this recipe, the smoky Scotch makes the eggnog more complex and gives it a savory taste, which goes nicely with the caramelized flavor of the brown sugar. If you're wary of using raw eggs, here's a version with a cooked custard base.

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 large eggs, separated
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus pinch
2 cups whole milk
1 cup smoky Scotch whisky
1/2 cup brandy
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
Grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using an electric mixer beat on medium-high speed until thick and dark golden, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and slowly drizzle in the milk, Scotch and brandy. Transfer to the freezer to chill while preparing the rest of the eggnog. (Or refrigerate for at least 2 hours before completing.)
  • In a medium bowl, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside. In another medium bowl, using clean beaters, whip the egg whites and pinch of salt on medium-high speed, adding the sugar by tablespoons until soft peaks form.
  • When ready to serve, pour the yolk mixture into a large punchbowl. Fold in a small amount of whipped cream to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream. Fold in the egg whites. Generously dust the top with nutmeg; serve immediately.

Categories     brunch, lunch

Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
12 egg yolks
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus pinch
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup smoky Scotch whiskey
1/2 cup brandy
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat the milk to a slow boil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. While waiting for the milk to heat, in a large bowl, whisk the yolks and brown sugar until thick. When milk has reached a low boil, turn off the heat, and whisking constantly, slowly pour the milk into the yolks mixture until fully incorporated. Whisk in the salt.
  • Return the mixture to the pot and turn up the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, with a spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and allow to cool. Chill eggnog for at least an hour and up to 2 days.
  • Just before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the custard. Add the whiskey, brandy and vanilla. Garnish with nutmeg and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the eggs, milk, and cream. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your eggnog.
  • Temper the eggs before adding them to the hot milk mixture. This will prevent them from curdling.
  • Use a slow cooker to make your eggnog. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop over time.
  • Serve your eggnog chilled or over ice. You can also garnish it with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon sticks.
  • Store your eggnog in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.
