Ingredients

• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges—do not let it boil.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth and pale in color, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly pour the heated milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture in small increments, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 4

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Let it cool for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Once cooled slightly, mix in the caramel sauce until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, pour the caramel eggnog into glasses. Top with whipped cream, additional drizzles of caramel sauce (if desired), and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.
