Swapped the heavy cream for lactose free milk and the whole milk for 10% lactose free cream. Cannot find lactose free heavy cream (if it even exists) so I did this ratio to make up for it.Popular enough I'm making a double batch to bring to a new year's party (pic provided is a in-process I'm doing right as I type for the base), this is a drink I think people who didn't like store bought eggnog would like. Very fluffy, custard-y beverage.I did not have a pitcher and simply ladled from the pot.\n\n03 of 08\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Cligba\n\n12\/30\/2022\n\nIt was delicious and very creamy, we added bourbon for that extra kick.\n\n04 of 08\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Alexander\n\n12\/10\/2020\n\n05 of 08\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  inswain\n\n12\/09\/2020\n\nBest eggnog I’ve ever had.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings Custard Base: - 4 egg yolks - ⅓ cup white sugar - 2 cups whole milk - 1 cup heavy cream - ¾ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg - 2 fluid ounces bourbon whiskey, or more to taste Meringue: - 4 egg whites - 1 tablespoon white sugar - 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg ## Directions 1. Place egg yolks in a saucepan. Whisk in sugar until well blended and creamy. Add milk and cream; whisk until blended. Place pan over medium heat; whisk frequently until mixture reaches a temperature of between 170 to 180 degrees F (75 to 80 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat. Stir in nutmeg and whiskey. 2. Chill pan in cold water until cool. Transfer mixture to a container (a large pitcher is ideal). Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 2 to 3 hours. 3. Place egg whites in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue whisking until egg whites hold a firmer peak. Whisk egg whites into custard base until thoroughly blended. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. 4. Whisk eggnog again just before serving and between each pour to ensure even distribution of the egg whites which tend to float to the top. Serve with a dusting of nutmeg. ![a clear glass mug of eggnog sprinkled with nutmeg]() ![a clear glass mug of eggnog sprinkled with nutmeg](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/W7fX9Wqf3UvPydefEbsM1V-tpxA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/3253511_original-e8f2dd61f9774b0296f9dc39e5c1d59c.jpg) Chef John ### Chef's Note Be sure to use the freshest ingredients (eggs, milk, and cream) and freshly grate the nutmeg. ## Editor's Note: This recipe contains raw egg.

Add Your Photo ## Photos of Chef John's Homemade Eggnog 01 of 08 ![]() Photo by Chef John 02 of 08 ![]() Photo by SandyBoard5334 12/27/2023 Really enjoyable, I did make this with some substitutes as I have lactose sensitive folks in the family. Swapped the heavy cream for lactose free milk and the whole milk for 10% lactose free cream. Cannot find lactose free heavy cream (if it even exists) so I did this ratio to make up for it.Popular enough I'm making a double batch to bring to a new year's party (pic provided is a in-process I'm doing right as I type for the base), this is a drink I think people who didn't like store bought eggnog would like. Very fluffy, custard-y beverage.I did not have a pitcher and simply ladled from the pot. 03 of 08 ![]() Photo by Cligba 12/30/2022 It was delicious and very creamy, we added bourbon for that extra kick. 04 of 08 ![]() Photo by Alexander 12/10/2020 05 of 08 ![]() Photo by inswain 12/09/2020 Best eggnog I’ve ever had.
