Time 15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
12 egg yolks
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus pinch
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup smoky Scotch whiskey
1/2 cup brandy
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat the milk to a slow boil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. While waiting for the milk to heat, in a large bowl, whisk the yolks and brown sugar until thick. When milk has reached a low boil, turn off the heat, and whisking constantly, slowly pour the milk into the yolks mixture until fully incorporated. Whisk in the salt.
  • Return the mixture to the pot and turn up the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, with a spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and allow to cool. Chill eggnog for at least an hour and up to 2 days.
  • Just before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the custard. Add the whiskey, brandy and vanilla. Garnish with nutmeg and serve.

I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! This scotch eggnog is really good. It's not too heavy or sweet, and the scotch flavor is just right.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scotch eggnog turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This scotch eggnog is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of scotch. But I'm so glad I did! The scotch flavor is very subtle, and it really complements the other flavors in the eggnog. This is now my go-to scotch eggnog recipe.

OMG! This is the best scotch eggnog I've ever had! It's so creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I love that it's made with cooked butterscotch, which gives it a really rich and decadent flavor.
