Rich mocha eggnog
Yield 2 quarts
Ingredients
- 1 cup high-quality chocolate, chopped into 1/4” pieces
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened, high-quality cocoa powder
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 eggs (separated)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups bourbon
- Shaved chocolate and freshly-grated nutmeg to garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate and cocoa powder.
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of milk to a simmer over medium heat.
- Pour warm milk over chocolate and whisk well until chocolate is melted. Add remaining milk and cream, then set aside.
- In a standing mixer, place egg whites in the large mixing bowl. Then whisk on low until frothy, about 30 seconds.
- Increase the speed to medium and beat until the egg whites are thick and frothy, about 90 seconds.
- With mixer running, slowly stream in half the sugar and beat until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Place the beaten egg whites in a large bowl and reserve.
- Place the bowl back on the standing mixer. Add egg yolks and remaining sugar. Whisk at medium speed until yolks are thickened and pale yellow, about 1 minute. Lower speed to low, slowly add milk/chocolate mixture and whisk until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Add bourbon and mix until combined.
- Using a spatula, gently fold egg whites into chocolate mixture.
- Pour into glasses and serve garnished with shaved chocolate and grated nutmeg.
