What’s a Holiday without some homemade eggnog? This is so easy to make that I guarantee you will never buy that bottled stuff again. You may ask yourself what eggnog is made of, well it’s basically the same as making a rich ice cream base, which is essentially an anglais cream base. Some people use just whole milk, but I use both milk and heavy cream so just forget your calorie counting with this one. Once chilled it gets delectably thick and really doesn’t need much more…but if you really insist, you can fold in some sweetened whipped cream for an extra decadent experience.
Homemade Eggnog with Bourbon
I recipe anglais cream base (makes approximately 3-4 cups)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup bourbon (or to your taste)
1 cup slightly sweetened whipped cream, folded in when cream base is cool
nutmeg for dusting
cinnamon sticks, garnish
Follow the directions at the link provided to make the cream base. Allow this to cool completely then add the spices, liquor and then fold in the sweetened whipped cream. Ladle this into your prepared glasses then dust with nutmeg and garnish with a cinnamon stick.
