    New Wave Eggnog


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    Recipe Introduction


    Make-Ahead: Eggnog should be chilled at least 4 hours before serving, and
    served within 24 hours.

    This has an even creamier texture than the old-fashioned kind made with
    heavy cream. The cooked egg yolks make this the nog of choice for cooks
    who prefer to avoid raw eggs.


    List of Ingredients




    4 cups half-and-half or milk
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    12 large egg yolks
    1/2 cup dark rum
    1/2 cup brandy
    1/4 cup bourbon
    2 cups heavy cream
    1 pint high-quality vanilla ice cream
    Freshly grated nutmeg

    Recipe



    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir the half-and-half with
    the sugar until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot. In a
    medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the hot mixture.
    Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
    until the mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon (a thermometer will
    read about 185° F.), about 3 minutes. Strain into another medium bowl.
    Cool completely. Whisk in the rum, brandy, and bourbon. Cover and
    refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 4 hours.

    In a chilled, medium bowl, beat the heavy cream just until stiff. Fold
    into the chilled custard. Pour into punch bowl and add the ice cream.
    Grate the nutmeg over the eggnog, and serve chilled.
