Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Whole Milk
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 6 large Egg Yolks
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 4 ounces Dark Chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon (Optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  • Temper the eggs: Slowly whisk a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks before adding the egg yolk mixture to the pot.
  • Cook the eggnog over low heat, stirring constantly, to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Avoid boiling: Aim for a temperature of around 160°F (71°C).
  • Chill thoroughly: Allow the eggnog to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken.
  • Freshly grate nutmeg for the best aroma.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetness, spices, or alcohol to your liking before chilling.
