How to Make Eggnog Ice Cream
Step #1: Cream the egg yolks and sugars together in a large mixing bowl until light in color. Whisk the whole milk into the mixture until well combined. Now, here’s a fun tidbit about eggnog ice cream: Did you know it’s a modern twist on a centuries-old tradition? Eggnog itself dates back to medieval Britain, a rich, eggy, boozy concoction that was a symbol of luxury and celebration. Step #2: Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and set it over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon; about 8 to 10 minutes. Step #3: Pour the hot custard mixture through a sieve and into a medium bowl. Whisk in the nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and heavy cream. Cover and refrigerate until chilled; at least two hours.
