Time 30m

Yield 1 batch, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl or the bowl of your electric mixer combine eggs, yolks and sugar, whisk to combine.
  • Place your mixing bowl over a pan of hot water over low heat and stir continuously until it reaches 165°F.
  • I like to start the water off at well below the boiling point and slowly raise the temperature until it's just shy of boiling.
  • Do not whisk this mixture too much at this stage or you will incorporate too much air and take too long to heat.
  • If water starts to boil or you see steam coming off your mixture remove from the heat for a few seconds and whisk.
  • Getting this mixture too hot will cause eggs to cook.
  • After desired temperature is reached, use the whip attachment for your electric mixer and beat on high speed until thick and cooled to just warm to the touch.
  • Beat in vanilla and optional bourbon, serve ASAP.
  • The mixture will keep in the fridge for a day or so before it starts to separate.
  • Variations: Use rum, flavored liqueur or various extracts in lieu of bourbon.
