Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz heavy cream
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/2 oz dark rum
  • A pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 oz heavy cream, egg yolk, and sugar until thoroughly combined and pale yellow.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring whole milk and salt to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  3. Slowly pour the warm milk into the yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 160 degrees, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the eggnog into a clean bowl, stir in the dark rum and ground nutmeg, then place the bowl in an ice bath to cool.
  6. Once chilled, whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the chilled eggnog.
  7. Serve the Cozy Rum-nog garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
