Homemade Eggnog Recipe
One of the Christmas Classics, Eggnog can't miss from your Christmas table! Everyone will love it- even kids, because this recipe can be kid friendly if you skip the alcohol part. You gotta try it!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk regular or oat milk
- 1 cup cream
- 6 egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar divided in two
- pinch salt
- 2 cloves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp nutmeg ground
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (half of it for topping)
- ½-¾ cup alcohol Rum, Brandy, Whiskey, Bourbon or Schotch
Instructions
- Whisk together the egg yolks with half of the suga, until the mix gets light in colour and creamy.
- In a medium saucepan, add the milk, cream, the sugar left and spices (except for the vanilla, because it will lose flavour). Simmer the mix for about 5 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat.
- Add the milk mixture on top of the eggs one tablespoon at a time, mixing carefully. You HAVE to add the mixture gradually to avoid the yolks from cooking.
- After incorporating all the mixture with the egg yolks, transfer the new mix back in the saucepan and place on the stove on low heat. Mix for about 2 minutes, making sure the mix is not boiling. When it starts to slightly thicken, remove from heat, add vanilla, strain and allow to cool down. Transfer to the fridge overnight.
- Add the alcohol before serving and give it a good mix in the blender. Top with cinnamon and whipping cream if desired.
