Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.33 cup granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup bourbon or rum (optional)
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
• 1 pinch additional nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture into them while whisking continuously. This step prevents the egg yolks from curdling.

Step 4

Slowly pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 5

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and can coat the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and optional bourbon or rum if you're using it. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cold.

Step 7

In a blender, combine the chilled eggnog mixture with the ice cubes and blend until smooth and frothy.

Step 8

Pour the Frosty Noggin into glasses, then top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Step 9

Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg on top of the whipped cream, serve immediately, and enjoy!
