Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken
- 3 whole cloves
- 8 oz (1/2 cup) dark rum
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Place egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until combined and pale yellow. Set aside.
- Combine milk, cream, cinnamon and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it just starts to bubble near the edges. Reduce heat to low and whisk a splash of it into the egg yolk mixture. Whisk about 1 cup of hot milk into the egg yolk mixture. Repeat with 1 more cup of hot milk, whisking vigorously. Return everything to the saucepan and gently heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Don’t let it boil.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. Stir in rum, vanilla, and nutmeg. Transfer to a large carafe, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Serve, grating fresh nutmeg over top.
