Ingredients

• 2 cups eggnog
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup whipped cream
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together eggnog, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch has fully dissolved.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together until smooth. Slowly temper the yolks by adding about 1/2 cup of the warm eggnog mixture to them, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the pudding over medium heat while whisking, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 3-5 minutes). Do not allow it to boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and butter until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the pudding to a bowl or individual serving glasses. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, top the pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy your festive eggnog pudding!
