Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Ground nutmeg, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well blended.
3. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the sugar and eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
4. Pour the eggnog mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bourbon, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
6. Pour the eggnog into a pitcher or punch bowl and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
7. To serve, pour the cold eggnog into individual serving glasses. Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with ground nutmeg for garnish.
8. Enjoy the rich and creamy goodness of Eggnog-Extreme!
