3 Ounce bourbon
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish

Steps

  • 1

    Plan ahead, this recipe requires chill time.

    Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until sugar completely dissolves.

  • 5

    After the milk and cream have smoked, add them along with the bourbon, vanilla, and nutmeg into the egg mixture and stir to combine.

  • 6

    Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat into soft peaks. (When you lift the beaters the whites should make a peak that slightly curls down.)

  • 7

    With the mixer still running, gradually add 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

  • 8

    Gently fold the egg whites into the cream mixture and then whisk to thoroughly combine.

  • 9

    Chill eggnog for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld. Garnish with a dash of nutmeg and whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
