Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 12 eggs, separated
• 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup dark

• 2 cups peach-flavored bourbon liqueur (such as southern comfort ®)
• 2 quarts heavy whipping cream
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or more to taste

Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Ready Time: 4 hrs 20 mins


• beat egg yolks in a bowl until thickened and light in color. gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. drizzle dark and into egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly, until fully incorporated. cover and let mixture stand for 1 hour to reduce the 'eggy' flavor.
• whisk bourbon and cream into the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly, until fully incorporated. cover and refrigerate for flavors to blend, 3 to 5 hours.
• beat egg whites in a bowl until foamy. continue to beat until stiff peaks form. lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. fold egg whites into egg yolk mixture. pour eggnog into a punch bowl and sprinkle with nutmeg.
