Ingredients
- 9 Egg Yolks
- 3/4 C Sugar
- 1 1/2 C Heavy Whipping Cream
- 3 cups Whole Milk
- 1/2 t Nutmeg- Ground
- 2 t Apple Pie Cinnamon Spice Rub
- 4 Oz Whiskey
Directions
- Combine the nutmeg, Apple Pie Rub, cream and milk in a 2 quart saucepan. Heat until simmer and then turn off the heat. Watch closely not to scald the cream.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and egg yolks. Whisk or blend until thick and creamy and pale yellow color.
- Temper the eggs by pouring ½ cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, stirring constantly. Once you have added ½ the cream mixture to the yolks, you can pour it all back into the saucepan.
- Place back over the heat, if needed, until the temperature of the mixture reaches 160 degrees.
- Pour into containers and place in the fridge to cool completely, down to below 40 degrees.
- Pour 1 ounce of whiskey into a teacup and top with 4 oz of egg nog.
- Enjoy!
