Yummy homemade eggnog

Christmas is weird this year but at least we still have eggnog.

 

 Ingredients

• 4 egg yolk
• 1/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
• 1 pint whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 oz bourbon
• 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg and more for topping
• 4 egg whites

Directions:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved. Add the milk, cream, bourbon and nutmeg and stir to combine.

Place the egg whites in the bowl of the stand mixer and beat to soft peaks. With the mixer still running, gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Whisk the egg whites into the mixture. 

Chill and serve.

** I like to grate fresh nutmeg on top for good measure. You can also add more bourbon if you're really being festive!
