To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook eggnog for two (or three) using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
- Get 2 Fresh eggs - separate the whites and yolks so you have 2 whites and 2 yolks
- Prepare 240 ml Whole milk (1 cup)
- Take 120 ml Heavy cream (1/2 cup - sub milk for lighter version)
- Get 4 tbsp Sugar, more to taste
- Take 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- Prepare 3 Tbsp Bourbon or rum (i love cointreau too!)
- Prepare 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- Make ready 1/4 tsp Ground cloves (optional)
- Make ready Dash Cinnamon
One reason to age eggnog is that it gives the alcohol time to kill any bacteria that may be lurking in the raw eggs, but it also allows the flavors to mellow and blend into a perfectly balanced drink. I think it's a clear sign I need to make eggnog soon! The other day I was baking cookies for fun. However, the recipe I was using made a gazillion dozen of cookies, so I was scaling it in my head.
Instructions to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate large bowls.
- With a whisk or mixer, beat the egg yolks until they start to lighten in color. Then, gradually add 3 Tbsp of sugar, mixing it in until it dissolves.
- Add the milk, cream, bourbon (and Cointreau if using) and nutmeg and stir to combine. I prefer mine less sweet so taste and add more sugar if you like. Set aside.
- In the other bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy and "soft peaks" form (that means the little peaks that form when beating start to form, but will still melt back into the mixture).
- Gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (= the egg white peaks will stand up on their own without melting back into the mix).
- Fold the egg whites into the rest of eggnog. Serve into cups and dust with cinnamon and more nutmeg to taste.
Except I only remembered to scale. Land O' Lakes Fat Free Half and Half. It looks and tastes like half and half, but it's made mostly of skim milk (and a little carrageenan for body) instead of half cream and half whole milk. I made one of Martha's earlier Eggnog recipes and it was fabulous, but it was back in the days when raw eggs were still ok so I haven't made it since. But, I recall that the recipe called for whipping the heavy cream and folding it in the chilled eggnog.
