   • Begin by separating the eggs into two glass bowls, placing the yolks in one and the whites in another.

2. Whip Yolks with Sugar:

   • In the bowl with the egg yolks, beat them together with 1 1/2 cups of white sugar until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Be sure to reserve the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar for later use.

3. Whip Egg Whites:

   • Wash and thoroughly dry the beaters. Then, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gradually beat in the reserved 1/4 cup of sugar and continue until the whites hold their peaks firmly.

4. Combine Yolks and Whites:

   • In a large punch bowl, gently mix together the beaten egg yolks and whipped egg whites on a low setting.

5. Incorporate Cream:

   • Add the heavy cream to the bowl in increments of 2 cups at a time, stirring gently after each addition to ensure even distribution throughout the eggnog mixture.

6. Add Booze:

   • Stir in the rum and cognac, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.

7. Sprinkle Nutmeg:

   • Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg evenly over the top of the eggnog mixture, adding a touch of festive flavor and aroma.

8. Chill and Serve:

   • Cover the bowl and let the eggnog chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. During this time, a delicious crust will form on top, enhancing the texture and flavor.
   • When ready to serve, ladle the eggnog into glasses and offer a dash of the remaining ground nutmeg as a garnish for an extra touch of holiday magic.

Notes:

• For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and cognac and increase the quantity of another liquid, such as milk or cream, to maintain the desired consistency.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and nutmeg to suit your personal taste preferences.
• This eggnog can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy its creamy goodness throughout the holiday season.

Enjoy the creamy decadence of our Best Ever Eggnog recipe, a festive favorite that is sure to become a cherished tradition for years to come! 🎅🥛
