EGGNOG CREME BRULEE



Eggnog Creme Brulee image

I have been making creme brulee for my wife for quite some time and one day she asked me, 'Honey, is it possible to make creme brulee out of eggnog? I think that would be so yummy.' So, I bought some eggnog and set about finding out if it is possible, and it is. You can also take the same recipe and pour it into a prepared pie crust for an eggnog custard pie. It's a lot less work and hassle than individual ramekins.

Time 4h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups eggnog
4 egg yolks
¼ cup white sugar
3 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place 4 ramekins or custard cups into a shallow baking dish, and fill the dish with water to half-way up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Pour the eggnog into a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir occasionally until the mixture simmers, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the egg yolks and sugar into a mixing bowl; beat until light colored and frothy. Stir in the mascarpone until well blended and smooth. Whisk 1/4 cup of the heated eggnog mixture into the eggs. Gradually whisk the remaining eggnog into the eggs. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any egg strands. If desired, stir in the nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Pour into the prepared ramekins, dividing evenly.
  • Bake in preheated oven until custard has set, 30 to 45 minutes. Centers should wiggle slightly when shaken, but not be soupy.
  • Remove from oven and cool 30 minutes; refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crèmes
2 cups half and half
5 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup bourbon
Cranberries and Caramel
18 fresh cranberries
18 toothpicks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
Ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • For cremes:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place six 3/4 cup custard cups or soufflé dishes in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Bring half and half to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks, sugar, vanilla and salt in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot half and half into yolk mixture. Whisk in bourbon. Divide mixture equally among custard cups. Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Bake custard until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove custards from water. Cool on rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • For cranberries and caramel:
  • Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Lightly oil foil. Place 1 cranberry on the point of each toothpick. Combine sugar, light corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Attach clip-on candy thermometer to saucepan. Increase heat to medium-high and boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber and thermometer registers 325°F, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour 2/3 of syrup onto 1 prepared baking sheet, tilting sheet to spread caramel thinly; set baking sheet aside.
  • Working quickly, tilt saucepan and carefully dip 1 cranberry into remaining hot syrup to coat lightly. Place candy-coated cranberry on second prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cranberries. Allow caramel on baking sheet to cool and harden. Break caramel candy into 1- to 2-inch pieces. (Caramel candy and berries can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Sprinkle custards with nutmeg. Stand a few candy pieces upright in custards. Remove cranberries from toothpicks; place 3 berries atop each custard.

EGGNOG CREPES

What to do with all that left over eggnog? Make crepes. I sometimes just make the eggnog crepes and fill them with pumpkin butter that is usually sold at Trader Joe's during thanks giving and top it with home made whipped cream. SO good!

Categories     Desserts

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
20 gingersnap cookies
¼ cup pecan pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon McCormick® ground ginger
¼ teaspoon McCormick® nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
2 cups eggnog
6 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Nutmeg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed
4 tablespoons brandy, optional
4 tablespoons rum, optional
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
caramel syrup
gingersnap cooky
pecan piece, toasted
McCormick® Ground Nutmeg

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie tin with nonstick spray.
  • Add the gingersnap cookies and pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter, then mix until well incorporated.
  • Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared pie tin, then use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or drinking glass to press evenly against the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, until golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan and whisk very well to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in the eggnog, whisking between additions, to prevent lumps. Whisk in the egg yolks, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens to the consistency of pudding and starts to boil, 4-6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, brandy, and rum, if using, until smooth.
  • Pour the custard over the cooled crust and cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, until completely set.
  • Just before serving, make the whipped cream: In a medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. (Alternatively, use a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes.) Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and whip until medium peaks form and the cream holds its shape, 1-2 minutes more; do not over whip.
  • Dollop the whipped cream on top of the pie. Top with caramel syrup, gingersnap cookie crumbs, toasted pecan pieces, and nutmeg.
  • Enjoy!

EGGNOG CRèME BRûLéE



Eggnog Crème Brûlée image

A splash of bourbon and a generous grating of fresh nutmeg transform this simple custard into a holiday sensation. Make the custard in advance, but wait to caramelize the topping about 10 minutes before serving. The sugar will not hold its signature crunch if subjected to much extra time in a humid refrigerator. While it may be a single-use gadget, a kitchen torch is an inexpensive tool worth the investment. It does the best job at caramelizing the top without warming the custard, and it's so fun to use.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar, plus up to 1/2 cup/101 grams for sprinkling
3/4 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon bourbon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Put 8 shallow 4-ounce crème brûlée dishes in a large roasting pan. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, in an 8-cup glass measuring cup (or large bowl), whisk together egg yolks, 1/2 cup/101 grams sugar, nutmeg and salt. Whisk in heavy cream, milk and bourbon. Divide mixture carefully among crème brûlée dishes. Transfer roasting pan to the oven.
  • Very carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the crème brûlée dishes. Bake until the edges of the custard are set but jiggle in the center, 25 to 30 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
  • With a spatula or tongs, carefully transfer the dishes to a rack to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Just before serving, remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle one of the custards evenly with 2 to 3 teaspoons sugar. Pass a kitchen torch over the surface until the sugar melts and turns a deep golden brown. Repeat with the remaining custards. Allow the sugar to cool for a few minutes.
