Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar
4 cups (1 L) milk
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (125 mL) brandy (optional)
2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream
Ground nutmeg
 
Instructions:
In a large heavy saucepan, beat eggs and sugar until well blended. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 25 minutes. Pour custard into a large bowl. Stir in vanilla and brandy. Chill bowl in ice water for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.

To serve, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into custard. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Either keep eggnog refrigerated or place bowl on a bed of ice. Serve within 2 hours.

Makes 16 - 1/2 cup (125 mL) servings.
