Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar if non-alcoholic version, use ½ cup
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 egg large yolks
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup dark rum or Bourbon, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the milk to a low simmer in a saucepan.
  2. While the milk is heating up, whisk sugar, spice and egg yolks together in a large bowl. Keep whisking until the mix is lighter in color and texture than it was when you started.
  3. Take about ¼ cup of the hot milk and quickly whisk it into the sugar/egg mix.
  4. Repeat the previous step a few more times until all the milk is mixed in.*
  5. Transfer the mix back into the saucepan.
  6. Stirring continuously, bring the mix to a low simmer. Keep simmering until it is thick enough to just coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Let cool completely.
  8. Stir in the cream and the rum or the Bourbon (if using). Chill and store in the refrigerator. Serve cold.

Notes

  • *You have to do this step in batches to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • Storage: You can store the eggnog covered in the refrigerator for one day.
