Ingredients
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 Large egg yolks
- 3/4 cups maple syrup
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (plus more for sprinkling)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Whisk the eggs, yolks, and maple syrup together in a large saucepan until well combined. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Gradually whisk the milk into the egg and syrup mixture until fully incorporated. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees (measure using a candy thermometer or, in a pinch, an instant-read thermometer). | |
| Step 3 | |
| Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh strainer. Stir in the vanilla and the nutmeg. Chill thoroughly before serving (Carrie's recipe says at least 3 hours, but we let ours chill for 4 and it really could have used a little more time). Serve with additional nutmeg sprinkled on top, if desired (we use only fresh nutmeg, which isn't even in the same category as the preground stuff. Really.). | |
