Ingredients
Scale
Main Pudding:
- 2 cups eggnog
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Garnish:
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggnog, milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to steam.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot eggnog mixture into the yolks while whisking to temper them.
- Gradually whisk the tempered yolks back into the saucepan.
- Continue cooking and whisking until the pudding thickens and just begins to bubble, about 2–3 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour into individual serving dishes, cover the surface with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
- Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg before serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, use homemade eggnog.
- You can also fold in a little rum extract for a festive holiday twist without alcohol.
