Serves 6-8
This is not winning any health awards (uncooked egg which freaks some
people out, not to mention cream), but I make it every year and every year no
one complains and everyone finds it delightfully intoxicating. Some have even referred
to it as liquid milk tart. So there.
What’s even better is you can whip it up with what you have in the pantry
a few minutes before you start opening your gifts on Christmas Eve.
Ingredients
4 eggs, separated
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 cups skim milk
1 cup cream
½ cup brandy
Here I also used my versatile
ginger brandy. And you can reduce it if you really have to.
1 tsp nutmeg
Maraschino cherries for garnish
Cinnamon for dusting
Method
Beat the egg yolks with an electric mixer till they lighten. Gradually beat in the sugar and make sure it dissolves. Now mix in the
milk, cream, brandy and nutmeg till beautifully light yellow.

Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until it makes soft peaks when you
take the mixer out. Mix in the tbsp. of sugar till it forms stiff peaks.
Now use a whisk to mix the egg whites into the milk mixture and pop it
into the fridge.
Garnish your glasses, make sure Father Christmas is dressed, pour your
cold eggnog into the glasses and dust with cinnamon. Merry Christmas!
