Ingredients
For The Eggnog:
- 3 nutmeg whole
- 1 cup milk 2%
- 3 egg
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For The Custard:
- 6 egg yolk
- 2 egg
- 3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- cooking spray
- ground nutmeg
Instructions
Make the eggnog:
- Using a very large knife, cut the nutmegs so that they crack open and break into smaller pieces. Combine the cracked nutmegs and the milk in a small saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat and steep the milk until it has cooled.
- Once cooled, strain out the nutmeg pieces and pour the milk into a 1 cup measure. The milk will have reduced slightly, so pour extra 2% milk into the measuring cup until it is full. Set aside.
- Beat the 3 eggs using an electric hand mixer until they turn light yellow, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Add in the steeped milk and beat again for 30 seconds.
Cup of Yum
Make the custard:
- In a large blender, add 2 cups of the eggnog you just made, 6 egg yolks, 2 whole eggs, sugar, and salt. Blend until the mixture is well combined and turns light yellow.
- Place the custard in the refrigerator for 24 hours to let the flavors develop.
- After 24 hours, preheat your oven to 325℉ and spray 4 ramekins with cooking spray.
- Fill each ramekin just about full with custard and place into a 9x13-pan with sides. Sprinkle the tops with ground nutmeg.
- Fill the pan with water so that the water reaches about 1 inch up the side of each ramekin.
- Bake the custard until the top is just set, about 40-45 minutes.
- Let the custard come to room temperature for 1 hour, and then refrigerate to let it set completely, at least 2 hours.
