Ingredients
2large eggsseparated
25gcaster sugar
100mlrum or bourbon
200mlwhole milk
150mlwhipping cream
Nutmeg to serve
Method
Whisk the caster sugar and egg yolks together for a few minutes until they appear fluffy, light and pale; try using an electric whisk.
Bit by bit, whisk in the rum or bourbon.
Finally, whisk in the milk. The mixture may need to be whisked again as it can separate over time.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
Fold your first mixture into the whites very gradually.
Finally, whip the cream (until just holding its shape) and fold into the mixture too. If you like, sweeten with a little extra sugar.
Ladle into punch glasses and dust with nutmeg to serve.
Notes
Contains raw egg, so it is not suitable for pregnant women, the elderly and those with weak immune systems. Eggnog can be made in advance (and stored in the fridge) but it should be served within 24 hours as it contains raw egg.
