Homemade Eggnog

Homemade Eggnog

Delicious homemade eggnog. After finally realizing that in fact, you can create your own eggnog I gave it a shot. Granted its very easy as all you are doing is whipping then emulsifiying raw eggs with cream, milk and some sugar.

  • 6 eggs (at room temperature!)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • optional alcohol

Whisk yolks until they about double in size and turn a paler yellow. Slowly stir in sugar while whisking. If you are adding alcohol, slowly pour in while whisking. Then add the cream and milk while stirring. Next whisk egg whites until they peak and carefully FOLD the whites into the nog mixture. Once the whites are evenly mixed in put the mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Pour a glass and add nutmeg!
