Ingredients

• 6 large Egg yolks
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.5 cups Orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Rum or bourbon (optional)
• 1 Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat the mixture gently, stirring often, until just steaming—do not let it boil.

Step 3

Slowly temper the egg yolk mixture by adding the hot milk mixture a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 4

Once fully combined, return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should reach a temperature of about 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pineapple juice, orange juice, and a pinch of salt. If desired, mix in the rum or bourbon at this stage.

Step 6

Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any potential lumps.

Step 7

Cover the eggnog and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Pour it into glasses and garnish with a pinch of nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for added flair. Serve cold and enjoy!
