Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat the mixture until it is just about to boil, then remove from the heat.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale in color.
Step 3
Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from 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. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the vanilla extract, nutmeg, ground cinnamon, liquid stevia, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the egg nog to a medium-sized bowl or pitcher and cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least an hour to chill before serving, or up to a day in advance.
Step 8
Stir well before serving, and garnish with an extra dash of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.
