Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cup heaving whipping cream
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoon teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon pinches of salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix sugar and egg yolks together.
  • In a pan, heat up the heavy cream, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg until it simmers.
  • Once it simmers, we need to temper the eggs with this mix.
  • Slowly add a little into the eggs and mix well. Slowly add in until 1/2 or 3/4 of the mix is in the eggs.
  • Use a strainer and mix the egg mix, back into the milk in the pot and heat up.
  • Stir and heat up until the temperature reaches 160F.
  • Eggnog will thicken up.
  • Strain the eggnog into a bowl/pitcher and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Once it has cooled, you can pour into a canning jar and store in the fridge.
  • This will keep for 1-2 weeks.

Notes

If the eggnog is thicker than you like, you can thin with a little milk.
