Instructions
- In a large-sized mixing bowl add egg yolks, light brown sugar, and molasses.
- Whisk until light yellow in color and creamy in consistency.
- Place a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the whole milk, heavy whipping cream, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and kosher salt.
- Using a whisk, gently whisk together until the mixture reaches a light simmer
- Reduce the heat to keep the mixture simmering and make sure to keep slowly whisking so the dairy does not scorch.
- Whisk in a few ladles of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking non-stop, after each addition, so the eggs do not curdle and the mixture becomes tempered.
- After about 3/4 of the milk mixture has been added to the egg mixture pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and set it back on the stove.
- Whisk constantly while it gently simmers and starts to thicken.
- Cook until the eggnog reaches 160 degrees F on a thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Optional: my parents always added the cooked eggnog into a blender to really combine and smooth the mixture but you do not have to do this if you don't want to.
- Add your cooked eggnog to a pitcher, let cool slightly, cover, and let chill in the refrigerator.
- The mixture should thicken even more as it cools.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Serve with optional whipped cream and grated nutmeg.
