Classic Holiday Eggnog Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups whole milk, divided
2/3 cup whiskey (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Whipped cream (optional garnish)
Fresh nutmeg (optional garnish)
Cinnamon stick (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt together in a large stockpot until the eggs are pale yellow. Stir in 2 cups of the milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches 160°F. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of milk, whiskey, and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight. Divide the eggnog among glasses or mugs. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, a light sprinkle of fresh nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick, if desired.
