I don't like eggnog, but I LOVE this one! It is made from scratch...none of that store-bought stuff. Soooo good recipe from Alton Brown. I used the cooked version. Ingredients:
4 egg yolks |
1/3 cup sugar, plus |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 pint whole milk |
1 cup heavy cream |
3 ounces bourbon |
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
4 egg whites (*) |
Directions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color.
2. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved.
3. Add the milk, cream, bourbon and nutmeg and stir to combine.
4. Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat to soft peaks.
5. With the mixer still running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
6. Whisk the egg whites into the mixture.
7. Chill and serve.
8. Cook's Note: For cooked eggnog, follow procedure below.

18. The American Egg Board states: There have been warnings against consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of foodborne illness. Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with the shell - .
