This creamy homemade eggnog is simple to make and tastes better than any store-bought version. It’s rich, spiced just right, and worth the patience it takes to chill! Ingredients: • 12 large egg yolks • 1 cup granulated sugar • 4 cups whole milk • 2 cups heavy whipping cream • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: 1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened. Set aside. 2. In a medium-sized pot, combine the milk, heavy whipping cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer (do not let it boil). 3. Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding the hot milk mixture one spoonful at a time, whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from scrambling. Continue adding the milk a little at a time until fully combined. 4. Pour the tempered mixture back into the pot and heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (around 160-165°F, if using a thermometer). 5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. 6. Pour the eggnog into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results). 7. When ready to serve, give it a good stir, pour into glasses, and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for garnish. Pro Tip: For an extra decadent treat, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a splash of your favorite spirit!
