What makes this recipe special is its lightness: twice as much milk as cream, and the white of the egg whipped stiff and folded into the mix, so it was almost like clouds on top of the eggnog.

AMAZINGLY GOOD EGGNOG

It's taken me several years to perfect this homemade eggnog recipe. Now everyone asks, 'When are you making the eggnog?!' This uses cooked eggs for safety, and you can use more or less rum to taste. It's a bit of work to make, but well worth it. You'll never buy store-bought eggnog again! Enjoy!

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup superfine sugar
2 cups whole milk
3 cups heavy cream, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup bourbon, preferably Maker's Mark
1/4 cup dark rum, preferably Mount Gay
1/4 cup Cognac, preferably Remy Martin Grand Cru
Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream. Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Just before serving, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a splash of rum or brandy for a boozy twist.
  • Garnish with grated nutmeg, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
  • Make ahead of time: You can make eggnog up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Serve chilled: Eggnog is best served cold. If you're making it ahead of time, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
