White Chocolate Eggnog is a delightful twist on the classic holiday beverage. This creamy, rich drink infused with the smoothness of white chocolate is perfect for festive gatherings or cozy nights by the fire. With a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a luxurious treat that will impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
- Pour the 3 cups of milk into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Warm the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it come to a full boil.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 egg yolks and 1/3 cup of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
- Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
- Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk.
- Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The mixture is ready when it coats the back of the spoon and reaches a temperature of around 160°F (71°C).
- Be careful not to let it boil, as this could curdle the eggs.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the 1/2 cup of white chocolate to the hot mixture, and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the eggnog into a large bowl or pitcher.
- Place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until well chilled.
- Once chilled, give the eggnog a good stir before serving.
- Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.
Tips:
- Use quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Allow the eggnog to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can increase the number of egg yolks or use whole milk instead of 1%.
- For an adult version, consider adding a splash of bourbon, rum, or brandy.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or a cinnamon stick to enhance the holiday flavor.
White Chocolate Eggnog is not only a delicious holiday treat but also surprisingly easy to make.
