Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups half and half
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons bourbon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Additional ground nutmeg
6 whole strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place half and half in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Cover; steep 15 minutes. Discard vanilla bean.
  • Whisk yolks, sugar, bourbon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and salt in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot half and half mixture. Strain custard into 4-cup glass measuring cup.
  • Place six 3/4-cup custard cups or soufflé dishes in roasting pan. Divide custard equally among cups. Cover each cup with foil. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Bake until custard is just set around edges but still soft in center, about 45 minutes. Remove cups from water. Remove foil and cool. Cover custards and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Sprinkle additional nutmeg over custards. Garnish with strawberries.

I'm not a fan of nutmeg, so I omitted it from the recipe. The custards were still delicious.

These custards were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custards turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I was looking for a new eggnog recipe to try and this one didn't disappoint. The custards were creamy and flavorful, and the nutmeg on top was the perfect finishing touch.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my custards didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These custards were a little too eggnog-y for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less eggnog next time.
