A delightful twist on the classic eggnog, perfect for festive gatherings.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the fresh eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the sugar dissolves completely, giving a smooth texture.
Gradually add the whole milk to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
Adding the milk slowly helps prevent lumps from forming.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 160°F.
Use a thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the safe temperature for eggs.
Remove the saucepan from heat and slowly whisk in the rich half-and-half.
Adding the half-and-half off the heat prevents curdling.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract, aromatic ground cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg.
Adjust the spices to your preference for a personalized flavor.
Pour the mixture into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Chilling the eggnog allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the eggnog in glasses, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a cinnamon stick.
For an extra festive touch, top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
