Ingredients
  • 6 eggs, separated
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 cups raw milk
  • ½ cups raw cream
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • Black rum (to taste, if desired)
Instructions
  1. Crack eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and the whites in the bowl of a mixer
  2. Beat the yolks vigorously by hand with a whisk.
  3. Once they begin to lighten in color, I add the sugar and proceed to beat them until the whole mixture is light and fluffy, with a creamy texture. In fact, the whole texture changes and it no longer looks like egg yolks and sugar. It more closely resembles vanilla pudding.
  4. Whisk in the milk and cream. Set aside for just a minute.
  5. Turn on your electric mixer to high (or really get your arm workout in!) and beat those egg whites until they form soft peaks.
  6. Add them to the cream mixture and mix well.
  7. Grate in a little fresh nutmeg and you are ready to drink your lovely non-alcoholic homemade eggnog.
  8. If desired, add a shot of black rum to the glasses for the grown ups before pouring in the eggnog.
  9. The eggnog does separate some as it sits, with the fluffy meringue rising to the top, but just give it a little stir and you're back in business!
Notes
If you want your eggnog less foamy, just don't add all of the whites!
