This is a recipe for creamy, traditional eggnog, which is almost a meal in and of itself! There is no alcohol in this recipe, but if you’d like to spike yours with rum, you’ll find no judgment here!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 4 egg whites

Instructions
 

  • Beat the egg yolks with an electric hand mixer at low speed for 2 minutes, or by hand until pale and slightly thickened.
  • Add the first measure of sugar, milk, and heavy cream. Blend until combined.
  • Add spices and vanilla extract. Blend until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Once foamy, begin adding the second measure of sugar gradually as beating continues.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold egg whites into yolk mixture until uniform.
  • Chill for one hour.

Notes

  • Cream has reached soft peaks when the whip is pulled from the cream and a peak folds over itself but doesn't disappear back into the mass. Stiff peaks stand upright instead of folding over.
