This eggnog recipe makes enough for about eight servings but if you want more, just double the ingredients. It takes about thirty minutes to cook and then has to chill for about six hours. One taste and you'll see that is definitely worth the wait!

Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon  grated nutmeg
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 – 1 cup spiced rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
more nutmeg for serving

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Combine the 1/2 cup of whole milk and the 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and nutmeg until well combined and thickened slightly.
In saucepan, heat remaining milk and cream over medium heat until steaming.
While whisking the egg and sugar mixture, slowly drizzle the steaming milk mixture into the egg mixture, tempering the eggs. Whisk until well combined.
Add the milky egg mixture back to the saucepan and return to medium-low heat. Stirring often, whisk the mixture until is it slightly thickened and reaches about 175 degrees F. Do not overheat the mixture or it will curdle.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the milk and cream mixture you set aside earlier. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
