Ingredients

• 6 large Egg yolks
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 500 ml Whole milk
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 120 ml Cognac
• 60 ml Crème de cacao
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon (plus extra for garnish) Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 large Egg whites (optional, for froth)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale in color.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 3

Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk and sugar mixture to temper the eggs. Start by adding a small amount of the milk mixture at a time to prevent curdling.

Step 4

Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cognac, crème de cacao, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Step 6

Optional: For a frothy eggnog, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and fold them into the chilled mixture before serving.

Step 7

To serve, ladle the chilled Ponche Alexander Eggnog into glasses. Garnish with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg on top for a festive touch.
