Ingredients:
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon, for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until light and creamy.
- Heat the dairy: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cream, milk, nutmeg, and salt. Stir frequently until the mixture reaches a bare simmer.
- Temper the eggs: Slowly whisk a large spoonful of the hot milk into the egg mixture, adding one spoonful at a time to prevent curdling.
- Combine and thicken: Once tempered, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Heat gently, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened (or the temperature reaches 160°F). Remove from heat.
- Finish and chill: Stir in vanilla. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, allowing it to thicken as it cools. For a smoother consistency, blend with 1-2 tablespoons of milk before serving.
- Serve: Pour into glasses, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, and top with whipped cream if desired.
Storage: Keep homemade eggnog in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Yield: Makes approximately 4 cups.
