How to Make Special Chocolate Eggnog

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is thick, pale, and smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Gradually whisk in 4 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup dark rum (or substitute with additional milk for a non-alcoholic version). Mix until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the eggnog to chill thoroughly.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks, into the chilled chocolate mixture. Then, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions, being sure not to deflate the mixture.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated dark chocolate or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
