Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 oz bourbon, optional
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Additional Reddi-wip for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, and salt.
  2. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (approximately 160°F), which will take about 30 minutes.
  3. Strain the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the bourbon (if using), vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg.
  4. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours.
  5. Just before serving, whisk the Reddi-wip into the chilled eggnog.
  6. Top the holiday drink with additional Reddi-wip and enjoy.
