I love Christmas so much that I decorate in October. I don't care for eggnog, but it's such a tradition at Christmastime that I created an eggnog that I even like! Ingredients:
6 eggs |
2/3 cup sugar |
4 cups 2% chocolate milk, divided |
3 cups chocolate ice cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
optional toppings: whipped cream, ground nutmeg and/or chocolate curls |
Directions:
1. In a small heavy saucepan, whisk eggs and sugar until blended; stir in 2 cups chocolate milk. Cook and stir over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until mixture is just thick enough to coat a spoon and a thermometer reads at least 160°. Do not allow to boil. Immediately transfer to a large bowl.
2. Stir in the ice cream, vanilla and nutmeg until blended. Add remaining chocolate milk. In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; stir into eggnog mixture. Transfer to a pitcher.
3. Refrigerate, covered, until cold. Stir just before serving. If desired, serve with toppings. Yield: 12 servings (2/3 cup each).
