This luxurious drink is perfect for cozy gatherings and holiday celebrations, ensuring that every sip is a taste of indulgence and joy.

Ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
4 yolks
70g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1/3 cup rum
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare a Double Boiler:
- Fill a pot with a few inches of water and bring it to a simmer.
- Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
2. Melt the Chocolate:
- Add the dark chocolate to the heatproof bowl.
- Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Heat the Milk and Cream:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream and milk.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
4. Whisk the Egg Yolks and Sugar:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
5. Temper the Eggs:
- Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Gradually add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk and cream, whisking thoroughly.
6. Heat the Mixture:
- Return the saucepan to the stove over medium-low heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Ensure the mixture does not boil to prevent curdling.
7. Combine Chocolate and Custard Base:
- Slowly whisk the melted chocolate into the custard base until fully incorporated and smooth.
8. Add Flavorings:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and rum, mixing well.
9. Chill the Eggnog:
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
10. Serve:
- Before serving, stir the eggnog well.
- Pour into glasses and, if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of grated chocolate or a dollop of whipped cream.
11. Enjoy:
- Savor your homemade Caramilk eggnog, perfect for festive celebrations or a cozy night in!

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, ensure the chocolate is finely chopped or grated before melting.

- When tempering the egg yolks, add the hot milk mixture gradually to avoid scrambling the eggs.

- Prepare the drink a few hours in advance and chill it for a thicker consistency and better flavor integration.

- Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.

- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, the rum can be omitted or replaced with a splash of rum extract.

Enjoy your homemade Caramilk Eggnog, a sumptuous blend of chocolate, cream, and rum that is sure to impress your guests and make your holidays warmer. This luxurious treat is not just a drink, but an experience that encapsulates the festive spirit in every sip.
