Published in Dec. 2008 in Martha Stewart Living magazine. To avoid salmonella poisoning use pasteurized eggs.
Ingredients:
6 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup superfine sugar
2 cups whole milk
3 cups heavy cream, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup bourbon, preferably maker's mark
1/4 cup dark rum, preferably mount gay
1/4 cup cognac, preferably remy martin grand cru
freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling
Directions:
1. Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream. Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
2. Just before serving, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg.
