Prepare the Whipping Cream
Begin by pouring the whipping cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. This step is crucial as it adds a light, airy texture to your eggnog, making it wonderfully creamy and rich. -
Combine the Milks
Once your whipping cream is ready, gently fold in the Eagle Brand Condensed Milk along with the whole milk. This combination will create the base of your eggnog, providing it with sweetness and depth of flavor. -
Incorporate the Eggs
Next, take one egg and beat it separately until it is well blended. Gradually add the beaten egg into the milk mixture, stirring gently to incorporate without losing the fluffiness from the whipped cream. -
Finish with Nutmeg
Finally, sprinkle the top of your eggnog with freshly grated nutmeg, adjusting the quantity to your taste. This aromatic spice will enhance the flavor profile of your eggnog, adding a festive touch that is sure to impress your guests. -
Serve
Once your eggnog is ready, pour it into your favorite festive glasses. For an extra special touch, consider adding a splash of brandy to each glass for an adult twist.
Enjoy
Gather with family and friends, and serve this delightful Val’s Eggnog at your next Christmas get-together. The creamy, nutty flavor will warm your hearts and make your holiday celebration truly special. Cheers to the season!
