Ingredients
- 7 eggs
- 1/2 gallon milk (8 cups)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 1 cup heavy cream
- cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, nutmeg, and salt in a large saucepan or Dutch oven.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and will coat a spoon, about 1 hour (my kids like to take turns stirring, which they enjoy--and it usually doesn't take quite an hour).
- Remove pan from heat, pour the mixture into a bowl, and then add the vanilla, stirring to combine. Refrigerate for several (2-3) hours, or until chilled.
- After eggnog is chilled, whip the heavy cream. To whip the cream, put it in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl) and beat until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the chilled eggnog. Garnish with a few shakes of nutmeg or cinnamon.
