Ingredients

• 6 large Egg yolks
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Dark rum
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Allspice
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 4 sticks Cinnamon stick (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Grated nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, coconut milk, and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.

Step 3

Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly. This process tempers the egg yolks and prevents them from scrambling.

Step 4

Gradually add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a pinch of salt.

Step 7

Pour the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any lumps. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.

Step 8

Before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir and pour it into glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
