Home Made Creamy Cooked Eggnog

Author: Christmasstar

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 pint whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 ounces bourbon
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, over high heat, combine the milk and heavy cream and bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and gradually *temper the hot mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Then return everything to the pot and cook until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the bourbon, pour into a medium mixing bowl, and set in the refrigerator to chill.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. With the mixer running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg whites into the chilled mixture.
  • Then return everything to the pot and cook until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat, stir in the bourbon, pour into a medium mixing bowl, and set in the refrigerator to chill.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. With the mixer running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg whites into the chilled mixture.

Notes

*Temper...
First dribble a small amount of hot milk in a steady stream into the eggs and sugar while quickly whisking the two together. This raises the temperature of the egg and sugar and gradually and cools the milk slightly.
Continue to dribble in the hot milk and whisk until you feel, with your hand, that the bowl's side or bottom has become warm or as close as possible to the liquid's temperature. Doing this is a good indicator of telling if the egg and sugar has been warmed up.
The eggs won't scramble or the milk won't curdle at this point, because they have been warmed gently. But, always keep the mixture moving - don't stop whisking.
You can make this alcohol free by omitting the bourbon.
Also put a shaker of nutmeg next to the bowl of eggnog for those who like to add it to thier drink
