Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 eggs, separated
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups kentucky bourbon
1 cup brandy
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean if you can find it in the spice section)
1 & 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

In a large bowl with a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter). Very slowly, add in the bourbon and brandy - just a little at a time. When the bourbon and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge Allow at least 4 hours for this. Once the mixture is fully chilled stir in the milk Stir in 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg,one teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract or all the inside scrapings of the vanilla bean and discarding the outer protective shell of the bean. In a separate bowl, beat the cream with a mixer on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture. After ladling into your cups, garnish with some nutmeg. Enjoy!
