Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons more sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups whole milk
12 peppermint candy canes, broken into pieces
3 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Peppermint sticks, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and the extracts in large saucepan over medium-low heat until combined. Pour in milk in a slow, steady stream, whisking until fully incorporated. Raise heat to medium. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Pour milk mixture through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Set bowl in ice-water bath; let mixture cool completely. Transfer custard to an airtight container, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Process candy canes in a food processor until finely crushed. Sift in a strainer to discard dust. Transfer to a shallow dish.
  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Let cool 5 minutes. Dip rim of each cup into melted chocolate, then crushed peppermint. Refrigerate until set, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove custard from refrigerator; set aside. Put cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into cold custard until combined. Fill cups with eggnog. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint, and garnish with peppermint sticks; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest eggs possible: Fresher eggs will make your eggnog richer and creamier.
  • Use whole milk or cream: Whole milk or cream will give your eggnog a richer flavor and texture than skim milk.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs will make your eggnog frothy and less creamy.
  • Chill the eggnog before serving: Chilling the eggnog will help it to thicken and develop its flavors.
  • Garnish with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or crushed candy canes: These garnishes will add a festive touch to your eggnog.

Conclusion:

Peppermint eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful eggnog that will be enjoyed by everyone. So gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try today!
