This is my favorite recipe because…when it comes to Holiday Cheer nothing says it like Eggnog!

Homemade Eggnog (21+)

Recipe:

• Beat 12 egg yolks until light in color. Reserve the whites, put in fridge covered for later.
• Beat in gradually 1 lb. confectioners’ sugar.
• Add very slowly beating constantly 2 cups dark rum.
• Let stand covered for 1 hour.
• Add, beating constantly 2 cups Bourbon or whisky of your choosing, 1 Cup Peach Brandy and 2 Quarts Half & Half cream.
• Refrigerate covered for 3 hours.
• No sampling the leftover “ingredients” while waiting. 😉
• Beat until stiff, but not dry 8-12 egg whites. The more egg whites the fluffier the eggnog will get, this will calm down after it sits a while.
• Fold egg whites into the other ingredients, make sure well blended.
• Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

This is the “Low calorie version” The original recipe calls for whipping cream, but substituted with Half & Half cream .

This will make about a gallon of eggnog. Keep refrigerated.
