Ingredients

• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 Additional ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to mix the ingredients.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.

Step 4

Once the milk mixture begins to simmer, slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mock eggnog cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices, if needed.

Step 6

Pour the mock eggnog into mugs or glasses. Optionally, top each serving with whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional ground nutmeg for garnish.

Step 7

Serve warm or refrigerate for up to 2 hours and serve chilled. Stir well before serving if chilled.
