How to Make Elegant Eggnog Dessert
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until well combined.
- Stir in the rum extract (or bourbon, if preferred).
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This helps remove any lumps and makes the dessert extra smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill completely.
- Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled eggnog mixture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Garnish with nutmeg or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
