For a nice, rich and creamy treat, try this eggnog recipe. You can serve it plain or add rum for adult holiday guests. Ingredients:
6 eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 cups milk, divided |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
additional whipped cream and ground nutmeg, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sugar and salt. Gradually add 2 cups milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until a thermometer reads 160°, about 25 minutes.
2. Pour into a large bowl; stir in the vanilla, nutmeg and remaining milk. Place the bowl in an ice-water bath; stir frequently until mixture is cool. If mixture separates, process in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
3. When ready to serve, in a small bowl, beat cream on high speed until soft peaks form; whisk gently into cooled mixture. Pour into a chilled punch bowl. If desired, top with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg. Yield: 6 servings (about 4 cups).
