Our Favorite Non-Alcoholic Eggnog Recipe
Use 8 Fresh Healthy Eggs!
(We only use farm fresh free range eggs.) Separate the egg Yolks into your Large Thermal Cooking Pot...and put the egg whites(do not get any egg yolks into your egg whites or it won't work) into a separate clean & dry bowl. First... In the separate bowl of egg whites, 2/3 cup of sugar
add a couple dashes of salt, and use a clean mixer to whip them for several minutes
until they have stiff peaks, and it looks like white frosting. Set aside.
Second In the Large Thermal Cooking Pot, beat the egg yolks with the mixer while slowly adding:
6 cups of Milk
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
5 tsp of vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp of rum extract
Once Yolk Mix is creamy and well mixed in the stainless steel cooking pot,
Take the Bowl of Egg Whites you previously set aside, and fold them into the mixture. Stir well. Refrigerate the eggnog in the stainless steel cooking pot with the lid on, for a minimum four hours.
When you are ready to go to your party, place cold cooking pot into the thermal unit. Shut lid. It will maintain its chilled temperatures while transporting unopened for up to six hours. When you open to serve, stir well, sprinkle nutmeg on top, and enjoy.
We recommend placing the ladle on a plate next to the pot so when guests are not pouring themselves a drink, the unit can remain shut. When finished refrigerate left overs in the Stainless steel pot. If refrigerated, leftovers, can be re-stirred and used for up to three days.
(For a little variation, when you pour your eggnog in your glass...only fill it two thirds full and top it off with a bit of Sprite or 7-up)
There are other recipes online that do have alcohol in them, if that is what you prefer, that cook the egg mixtures and then chill them, if you are worried about salmonella.
