- Egg Nog

EGG NOG


12 eggs, separated
1½ c super fine sugar (I use Berry sugar)
1 litre homogenized milk
1½ litre whipping cream
1 c amber rum
1 c brandy
Freshly grated nutmeg

In a very large bowl, beat egg yolks until pale yellow. Gradually add the sugar to the yolks. With a wire whisk, beat in the milk and 1 litre of the whipping cream. Add the alcohol, stirring constantly.

Just before serving, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into mixture. Whip remaining whipping cream until stiff and fold in. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Notes:

1. Think this is a lot of alcohol? The original recipe calls for 51/2 c alcohol.
2. This is not like anything you could ever buy in a store. It is creamy and delicious (what I would think tasting a cloud would be like).
