Minty Chocolate Eggnog

If you read my recent interview with Stephanie Hollman, you’ll know that we were talking about the holidays. Well, egg nog and the holidays. Seems we both have a shared appreciation for the egg drinks this time of year. She is responsible for me craving her recipe for “Thin Mint Egg Nog,” and I was really dying to try it. Sadly, when her assistant sent me the recipe, it was missing a few things (like eggs, lol) so I filled in the gaps and made this yummy version. I’m sure she won’t mind. So together, I give you my and Stephanie’s Minty Chocolate (aka “Thin Mint”)Egg Nog recipe. I cooked it, so no worries about salmonella. 😉

  2. Beat the egg yolks until they are light.
  3. Add the 1/3 cup of sugar and mix until dissolved.
  4. In a medium pan, heat milk, cream, and nutmeg over medium to high heat just to a boil. Keep an eye on it!
  5. Remove from the heat and gradually, slowly, pour it egg mixture while stirring.
  6. Return to pot and continue cooking until it reaches 160 degrees.
  7. Remove from the heat and stir in the liquors.

  10. While mixer is running, slowly add the remaining tablespoon of sugar and beat until peaks.
  11. Fold the egg whites into the chilled mixture.
  12. Rim your glasses, pour and enjoy!
