Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks preferably organic
- 100 grams caster sugar superfine
- 500 ml whole milk high-quality, fresh
- 250 ml heavy cream chilled
- 150 ml dark rum your choice of brand
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are thickened and pale in color.
- Gradually add the caster sugar, whisking continuously until dissolved and creamy.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, heavy cream, and rum. Heat gently until just simmering, but not boiling. Remove from heat.
- Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid curdling.
- Add ground nutmeg and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir and pour into elegant glasses. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add a touch more vanilla extract for flavor depth. Consider using a vanilla bean to infuse the milk for an extra layer of aromatic complexity.
