Provided by Aleya Zenieris

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
20 gingersnap cookies
¼ cup pecan pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon McCormick® ground ginger
¼ teaspoon McCormick® nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
2 cups eggnog
6 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed
4 tablespoons brandy, optional
4 tablespoons rum, optional
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
caramel syrup
gingersnap cooky
pecan piece, toasted
McCormick® Ground Nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie tin with nonstick spray.
  • Add the gingersnap cookies and pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter, then mix until well incorporated.
  • Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared pie tin, then use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or drinking glass to press evenly against the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan and whisk very well to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in the eggnog, whisking between additions, to prevent lumps. Whisk in the egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens to the consistency of pudding and starts to boil, 4-6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, brandy, and rum, if using, until smooth.
  • Pour the custard over the cooled crust and cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely set.
  • Just before serving, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes.) Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until medium peaks form and the cream holds its shape, 1-2 minutes more; do not over whip.
  • Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pie. Top with caramel syrup, gingersnap cookie crumbs, toasted pecan pieces, and nutmeg.
  • Enjoy!

EGGNOG CREMES



Eggnog Cremes image

Categories     Bourbon     Milk/Cream     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Cranberry     Winter     Chill     Christmas Eve     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crèmes
2 cups half and half
5 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup bourbon
Cranberries and Caramel
18 fresh cranberries
18 toothpicks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
Ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For cremes:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place six 3/4 cup custard cups or soufflé dishes in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bring half and half to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks, sugar, vanilla and salt in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot half and half into yolk mixture. Whisk in bourbon. Divide mixture equally among custard cups. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Bake custard until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove custards from water. Cool on rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • For cranberries and caramel:
  • Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Lightly oil foil. Place 1 cranberry on the point of each toothpick. Combine sugar, light corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Attach clip-on candy thermometer to saucepan. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber and thermometer registers 325°F, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour 2/3 of syrup onto 1 prepared baking sheet, tilting sheet to spread caramel thinly; set baking sheet aside.
  • Working quickly, tilt saucepan and carefully dip 1 cranberry into remaining hot syrup to coat lightly. Place candy-coated cranberry on second prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cranberries. Allow caramel on baking sheet to cool and harden. Break caramel candy into 1- to 2-inch pieces. (Caramel candy and berries can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Sprinkle custards with nutmeg. Stand a few candy pieces upright in custards. Remove cranberries from toothpicks; place 3 berries atop each custard.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are fresh, especially the eggs and cream.
  • Use a heavy saucepan to prevent scorching.
  • Stir constantly while cooking the custard base to prevent lumps and curdling.
  • Temper the eggs by slowly whisking in the hot custard base to prevent curdling.
  • Strain the custard base through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture.
  • Chill the custard base thoroughly before churning.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.

With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create delicious and creamy eggnog ice cream at home using any of these recipes.
