Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Separate the Eggs

    Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and the whites in a separate bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar

    Add the granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk together until the mixture is thick and pale in color.

  3. 3

    Combine Milk and Cream

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat until it is hot but not boiling.

  4. 4

    Blend Mixtures

    Slowly pour the heated milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.

  5. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the vanilla extract, freshly grated nutmeg, and Irish whiskey into the eggnog mixture.

Serving

  1. 6

    Whip Egg Whites

    Using a clean whisk or electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.

  2. 7

    Fold in Egg Whites

    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the eggnog mixture until well combined.

  3. 8

    Chill

    Cover the eggnog mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Pour the chilled eggnog into glasses, and sprinkle ground cinnamon and additional nutmeg on top for garnish. Serve immediately.
