Homemade Eggnog Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: milk, large eggs, large eggs, sugar, kosher salt, heavy cream, dark rum, nutmeg

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Drinks

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups milk, divided
2 large eggs
3 large eggs, only use the yolk, reserve whites for eggnog cookie dippers
1 cup sugar
1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup dark rum, or spiced rum (optional)
nutmeg, freshly grated for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 3 cups (720 ml) of milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming, 5-6 minutes (do not allow it to come to a boil.)
  • While the milk is warming, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until pale yellow in color, 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the milk has begun to steam, slowly pour half into the egg mixture while continuously whisking so the eggs don't scramble. Once combined, slowly pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan. 4. Keep warm over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Place a medium bowl in the ice bath and set a fine-mesh sieve on top. Pour the egg mixture through the sieve to remove any unwanted egg bits.
  • Remove the sieve and add the remaining cup of milk and heavy cream, and stir to combine. Let cool for 20 minutes, stirring every 5. Add the rum, if desired, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The eggnog will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with freshly grated nutmeg on top.
  • Enjoy!
