Ponche Crema de Ron [Recipe + Video] Christmas Eggnog
Description
The recipe begins by whisking together condensed milk, evaporated milk, and egg yolks until combined, then sieving the mixture to remove any solids. Cinnamon sticks and freshly grated nutmeg are added before cooking the mixture in a bain-marie over medium-low heat, first boiling for 20 minutes, then simmering for another 20 minutes, with frequent stirring to prevent sticking and promote gentle thickening.
After cooking, the mixture is removed from heat and stirred in white rum while cooling to room temperature. The cinnamon sticks are discarded before chilling the drink. This process yields a smooth, creamy eggnog with the signature warm spice notes and a moderated alcohol heat suitable for festive sipping.
Notes mention that the drink may seem less thick immediately after cooking but will firm up after chilling. The recipe emphasizes careful temperature control and slow stirring to achieve the right texture without curdling.
