Recipe:
Serves 6
- For the Meringue
- 4 Egg Whites
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- For the Cream and egg mixture
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 1/4 Cups of Sugar
- 2 Cups Whole Milk
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 2 ounces of Bourbon
- 2 ounces of Rum
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt to taste
- Nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon added to taste!
- For the meringue, whisk the egg whites and sugar in a bowl or stand mixer until it forms stiff peaks, set aside in a refrigerator
- Take the egg yolks and sugar and whisk together in a medium bowl until it is light and creamy
- In a sauce pan over a medium high heat, combine the cream, milk, nutmeg and salt
- Take a spoonful of the hot milk mixture and add it to the egg mixture whisking vigorously, repeat until most of the mixture is combined with the eggs, tempering the eggs.
- Pour the combined mixture into the sauce pan on the stove, whisk constantly to avoid it burning on the bottom.
- Bring the mixture up to 160F in temperature and remove from the heat, add in the vanilla.
- Store egg nog in a container with a tight seal on it in your fridge.
