EGGNOG ICE CREAM



Eggnog Ice Cream image

Creamy, nutmeg-spiced Christmas eggnog is one of my favorite holiday treats. Now I've turned this holiday cheer into an easy homemade eggnog ice cream recipe.

Provided by Claudia Fleming

Yield About 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups milk
1¼ cups sugar
1 cup heavy cream
12 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons brandy
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Myers's Original Spiced Rum
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, 1 cup of the sugar, and the cream to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Remove the milk mixture from the heat and add a little to the egg yolk mixture to warm it, whisking constantly to keep the yolks from curdling. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture, whisking the milk constantly as you pour.
  • Return the custard to the stove and cook it over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain it into a bowl. Let cool completely.
  • Stir the sherry, brandy, vanilla extract, rum, nutmeg, and salt into the custard. Chill until thoroughly cold, at least 4 hours.
  • Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Chill the egg nog mixture thoroughly before churning to prevent the ice cream from becoming icy.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, or nutmeg.
