Author Kit Graham

Ingredients

  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon we used Old Fitzgerald 12 year
  • 1 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • *Cocoa to garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cracking the eggs, separating the yolks and whites into two bowls.
  2. Pour the egg yolks into a stand mixer and beat on a medium high speed. Beat the egg yolks until they become think, almost like a cake batter. This will take about 5 minutes.
  3. Then add the sugar, and mix to combine. Next add the bourbon. Place the mixture in the fridge. This can be made a day ahead of time.
  4. The following steps need to be completed the day you will serve the eggnog. Use a stand mixer to combine the whipping cream and vanilla, and to whip the cream until soft peaks. Set aside.
  5. Whip the egg whites into soft peaks. It is important that you use a very clean, dry bowl to do this.
  6. Then assemble the eggnog. Pour the egg yolk and bourbon mixture into a punch bowl. Then stir in the milk, and fold in the whipping cream and the whipped egg whites.
  7. Keep the eggnog in the refrigerator until serving. Garnish with cocoa. I put cocoa on the rim of the glasses by dipping the glasses in milk and then dipping them in cocoa.
