Directions
- Add the egg yolks and sugar to the bowl of your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until the yolks are thick and pale yellow, and have doubled in volume, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small pot over a medium-low flame, until very hot, but not boiling (150F when checked with an instant read thermometer).
- With the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer set on low speed, slowly pour 1/2 cup of the milk into the bowl. Be sure to pour it in a slow, steady stream. This is called tempering the egg yolks, which uses the heat from the milk to carefully cook the yolks without them curdling.
- Add the vanilla and nutmeg. Increase the speed to medium, and slowly pour in the remaining milk. Continue to beat until the mixture is very frothy, and forms a “head” on top like a pint of beer, 3 to 4 minutes. Traditionally, eggnog is served cold, but I find it even better warm. If you prefer it chilled, transfer it to a glass bottle, cover and store in the fridge for at least four hours. It will keep in the fridge for up to five days. Be sure to give it a shake before serving.
