Enjoy it in glasses with whipped cream or incorporate the homemade eggnog into a delicious cake.
Ingredients
- 80 grams egg yolks that's 4-5 egg yolks
- 80 grams caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ vanilla pod
- 100 ml vodka brandy will work too
Instructions
- Start by putting a bowl of water in the fridge; you will be cooling the eggnog in it later. Do this well in advance. If you like, you can also add ice cubes (at the time of cooling).
- Cut open half of the vanilla pod and scrape out the marrow.
- Put the egg yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla in a bowl and stir.
- Heat this mixture in a double boiler. Continue stirring, add the vodka and continue stirring.
- You should heat the mixture to 62˚C (144˚F) (while still stirring) using a candy thermometer. Once the mixture has reached the correct temperature, remove the bowl from the pan and place it in a bowl of ice water.
- Continue stirring to cool the mixture. When it is lukewarm, you can strain it and pour it into a jar.
