Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large egg yolks, plus 2 large whites
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups whole milk
Large pinch of coarse salt
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup coarsely ground espresso beans, plus more finely ground for topping
2 ounces bourbon, such as Michter's or Maker's Mark
2 ounces dark rum, such as Appleton Estate
1 ounce cognac
Unsweetened freshly whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until pale yellow and thick, about 2 minutes. In a medium saucepan, bring milk and salt to a bare simmer. Whisking constantly, slowly pour hot milk mixture into yolk mixture.
  • Pour yolk mixture back into saucepan. Add coarsely ground espresso beans. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is just thick enough to coat back of spoon and hold a line drawn by your finger, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with 4 layers of cheesecloth into a large bowl; discard solids and cheesecloth. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add cream, bourbon, rum, and cognac; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Whisk remaining 1/4 cup sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixer bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm (it should feel smooth between your fingers), 2 to 3 minutes. (For fully cooked eggs, a thermometer inserted into meringue should register 160 degrees.) Remove from heat. With a mixer on high speed, beat until stiff peaks form, 5 minutes. Fold into eggnog.
  • Pour into glasses (or a punch bowl); top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with finely ground espresso.
