Custard
  • 1.5 cups Eggnog adds a festive base

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Whisk together the egg yolks and caster sugar in a mixing bowl until well combined.
  3. Heat the eggnog and thickened cream in a saucepan over medium heat until just simmering.
  4. Pour the hot eggnog mixture gradually into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly.
  5. Add the freshly ground nutmeg and mix until smooth.
  6. Fill ramekins with the custard mixture, leaving space at the top.
  7. Prepare a hot water bath by filling the baking dish halfway up the ramekins.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Cool the ramekins outside of the water bath for about 10 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  10. Just before serving, sprinkle extra caster sugar over each ramekin and caramelize with a kitchen torch.
