Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth and creamy. Keep aside. 
  • Add heavy cream, milk, nutmeg in a nonstick saucepan and cook over medium high heat. Mix and continue stirring until mixture starts simmering. 
  • Start adding this hot milk to the egg mixture slowly (½ cup at a time), while whisking vigorously until smooth. 
  • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat again, while whisking constantly until mixture thickens a bit and reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F. 
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract
  • Chill. Then, serve in cups with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg and/or a swirl of whipped cream. 
  • Optional- For a caramel version, drizzle some caramel sauce inside the sides of your cup and then pour the drink. Stir a bit and enjoy.
