Ingredients

• 6 large Egg yolks
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Tennessee whiskey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 4 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Heat the mixture until it is just about to simmer, but do not let it boil.

Step 3

Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into the yolk and sugar mixture, adding a little at a time to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Step 4

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches a temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat.

Step 5

Stir in the Tennessee whiskey and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 6

In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the chilled eggnog mixture to give it a light, frothy texture.

Step 8

Serve in holiday mugs or glasses, garnished with a sprinkle of additional nutmeg or cinnamon if desired. Enjoy responsibly!
