Equipment
- 1 Ice cream maker For churning the ice cream
- 1 Saucepan For heating the custard
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 units Egg yolks
- 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Rum Adjust amount to taste or omit for non-alcoholic version
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and half of the sugar over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not bring to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar and egg yolks until pale and thick.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and add nutmeg, vanilla extract, and rum (if using). Stir to combine.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, approximately 3-4 hours.
Notes
For a stronger eggnog flavor, increase nutmeg or add additional spices like cinnamon. Adjust rum amount based on desired taste or omit entirely for a non-alcoholic version.
