Ingredients
- 2 cups Eggnog
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 0 Optional whipped cream or additional nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish for a water bath by filling it halfway with hot water. Place 6 small ramekins inside the dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well combined. Do not overbeat—the mixture should be creamy and uniform.
Step 3
Carefully pour the custard mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins, leaving a small gap at the top to prevent spilling.
Step 4
Gently move the baking dish with water and filled ramekins to the oven. Be cautious to avoid spilling the water bath.
Step 5
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when shaken gently.
Step 6
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Step 7
Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or until thoroughly chilled) before serving.
Step 8
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a light sprinkling of nutmeg (optional) for an extra festive touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!
