EASIEST EGGNOG

Steps:

• Blend together eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Serve chilled.

EGGNOG ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the yolks lighten in color and the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, over high heat, combine the milk, heavy cream and nutmeg and bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and gradually temper the hot mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Then return everything to the pot and cook until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat, stir in the bourbon, pour into a medium mixing bowl, and set in the refrigerator. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 40 degrees F, approximately 4 to 6 hours.
• Once chilled, process in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve as is for soft-serve, or place in an airtight container and put in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours for traditional ice cream.

EGGNOG ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, 1 cup of the sugar, and the cream to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining ¼ cup of sugar. Remove the milk mixture from the heat and add a little to the egg yolk mixture to warm it, whisking constantly to keep the yolks from curdling. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture, whisking the milk constantly as you pour.
• Return the custard to the stove and cook it over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain it into a bowl. Let cool completely.
• Stir the sherry, brandy, vanilla extract, rum, nutmeg, and salt into the custard. Chill until thoroughly cold, at least 4 hours.
• Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
