How to Make Alcohol Free Basic Eggnog
- Separate 6 large eggs at room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat the 6 egg yolks with ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar until pale and creamy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the 6 egg whites with ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 5-7 minutes using an electric mixer).
- In another bowl, beat 2 cups (475ml) heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites until just combined. Be sure not to deflate the mixture.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to taste.
- Transfer the eggnog to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Before serving, pour the eggnog into a serving bowl. Sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
