Homemade Eggnog

Homemade Eggnog

Serves 6

People rarely make homemade eggnog anymore for fear of the raw eggs. However, you can mitigate the risk by using pasteurized eggs. This particular recipe is lighter in feel than store bought eggnog due to the separately beaten egg whites. (Rather simmer your eggnog? Try these cooked eggnog recipes.)

Ingredients:

6 eggs, separated

6 tablespoons sugar

1-1/2 cups light cream

Rum, brandy or whiskey to taste (optional)

Freshly grated nutmeg

Directions:

Beat the egg yolks, sugar, light cream and alcohol (if using) until well-blended. Separately, whip the egg whites until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture and serve immediately with grated nutmeg on top.
