OVERNIGHT EGGNOG



Overnight Eggnog image

For best flavor, make the night before and let the eggnog set overnight to let it cool down and thicken.

Provided by Anna Stadlman

Categories     Eggnog

Time 8h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cloves
12 large egg yolks
1 cup cane sugar
1 pint whipping cream
1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until spices become one with the milk, 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir from the bottom of the pot so the milk doesn't burn.
  • Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cane sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale yellow, thick, and smooth.
  • Remove milk mixture from the stove. Pour some of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue, pouring a little bit at a time and whisking, until all has been added.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly with a spatula until eggnog thickens and becomes light beige in color, about 5 minutes; it should leave a slight film on the spatula. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour whipping cream and nutmeg into a pitcher. Pour eggnog mixture into the whipping cream and mix with the spatula to combine. Place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight for best enjoyment. Stir before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and cream will give your eggnog the best flavor. Use pasteurized eggs or egg yolks if you're concerned about food safety.
  • Temper the eggs: Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Cook the eggnog over low heat: Stir the eggnog constantly over low heat until it thickens slightly. Do not let it boil, or the eggs will curdle.
  • Chill the eggnog thoroughly: Before serving, chill the eggnog for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the eggnog to thicken further.
  • Garnish the eggnog festively: When serving, garnish the eggnog with grated nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, or whipped cream. You can also add a splash of rum or brandy for an extra kick.
