December on the Farm: Goodale Farms - Egg Nog!


Serves 4–6

  • 6 large egg yolks

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish

  • 3 large egg whites

Off the heat, whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a heavy-bottom pot until light and fluffy. Add milk and cream, and bring mixture to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring, on medium-low heat until the mixture reaches 140 degrees F on a thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in nutmeg and vanilla and chill thoroughly. When ready to serve, whip egg whites in a stand mixer using the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into the egg yolk base and serve. Top with freshly grated nutmeg

*Smart Tip -Top this eggnog with your favorite holiday liquor; rum, bourbon, or whiskey would be a delicious accompaniment!
