How to Make Decadent Eggnog Bailey's

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, gently whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the cream mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Stir in the milk, rum (if using), and Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.
Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or strings.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, garnished with freshly grated nutmeg or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
