Rocket Fuel Eggnog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SueShoppah]

K, you were looking for this...well, I finally found it!!!!
Let's see if you can convert it to low carb haha :P

I made this for an office party one year. We were all
toasted after drinking this stuff throughout the day at work.
My boss renamed it to "Rocket Fuel" :D :D Every year after
that they would ask if I was bringing the egg nog :)

ROCKET FUEL EGGNOG

1 dozen eggs
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 quart homogenized milk
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 pint whipping cream
1 pint bourbon
1 pint dark rum
1 pint vodka
1 cup sweet sherry
Nutmeg

Separate yolks from whites of eggs. Beat egg yolks until fluffy and very light color. Add sugar. Add slowly, while beating mixture constantly, the bourbon, rum, and vodka.

While still beating mixture, add the milk. Reserve 2 tbsp. sherry.

Blend remainder of sherry with vanilla ice cream and beat into egg mixture.

Whip whipping cream until it forms soft peaks.

Whip 1/3 cup powdered sugar, folding into this the 2 tbsps. sherry.

Set aside.

Whip egg whites and add to remainder. Chill. Top with nutmeg.

This is the nog I made last year. Man - it's goooooood. (Of course I added a bit of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum - not Bourbon, Rum, Vodka and Sherry. Wow. That looks DANGEROUS!)

Eggnog a la Cristeen
Title: Eggnog
Yield: 3 Quarts

8 Egg Yolks
12 Eggs
1 qt Half & Half
1 qt Heavy Cream
1 1/2 c Splenda
2 oz Vanilla Flavored Syrup
2 oz Vanilla Extract
1 t Salt,Or To Taste
1 T Nutmeg,Or To Taste

[Note: It's important that when you're pouring the hot milk into the cold eggs, your stream of milk lands near the mixer beater so that it gets incorporated immediately. You want to cook the eggs without scrambling them. This brings the eggs up to a "safe" cooked temperature without compromising texture. ]

Combine the half & half and cream in a heavy saucepan with lid. Place over lowest heat, bring to boiling, stirring occasionally.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a large heat proof bowl. Sprinkle entire surface lightly with salt. Using an electric mixer on lowest speed, whip until mixture is a uniform pale yellow.

With electric mixer running on lowest speed, pour the hot milk into the eggs in a thin stream. Once all the milk has been incorporated into the eggs, and it is a uniform color, taste for sweetness, adjust if necessary (it will get sweeter as it cools).

Place entire bowl into refrigerator, allow to cool. Stir every 20-30
minutes so a skin doesn't form. Once it has chilled fully, pour back
into the rinsed milk cartons. Shake before serving.

To serve: If desired, add ½ oz Crown Royal to each 8 oz of eggnog, as it is served. Top with a sprinkling of nutmeg.

i am making it my goal to try my first cup of eggnog before the end of the year....that recipe does sound good (i swear, all you have to say is "rum" and i am soooo there! :p)...though the idea of a dozen raw eggs kinda makes my tummy tum a bit jumpy....
you can't buy eggnog in the UK so the first year I was here I tried a LOT of different eggnog recipes until I found one I loved - and it happens to be cooked, so you aren't using raw eggs, but I swear it's the best eggnog ever. :D

I do tweak it a bit - I add a bit more spice than it calls for, and I don't add rum at the end. I do add some milk (or half anf half) to thin it out until it is the way I like it, and just add rum or brandy to each glass as desired. http://www.lowcarbscoop.com/lcsbb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif it's nice to store it in big empty water bottles/jugs.
