Ingredients
- 4 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 5 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Clove powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Rum or bourbon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine almond milk and coconut milk. Warm over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and has a pale yellow color.
Step 3
Gradually add about 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks and prevent them from curdling.
Step 4
Slowly whisk the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk.
Step 5
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and clove powder.
Step 7
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 8
Once chilled, if you opt to use it, stir in rum or bourbon.
Step 9
Before serving, give the egg nog a good whisk to recombine any settled ingredients. Serve in glasses, and optionally sprinkle with additional nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish.
