Kentucky-Style Eggnog is a bourbon-infused holiday classic with a rich, creamy texture. Each sip is a blend of fluffy whipped egg whites, sweetened egg yolks, and velvety whipped cream, creating a frothy, indulgent experience with a smooth bourbon kick. Aged for a few days, this eggnog develops deeper flavors and a balanced, festive warmth.
Ingredients
- 1 Whipped Cream
- 6 Egg
- 1 Cup(s) Sugar
- 2 Cup(s) Bourbon Whiskey
Instructions
Prepare Egg Yolks:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is thick and pale.
Add Bourbon Slowly:
- While still beating, slowly pour in the bourbon whiskey. Mixing gradually helps incorporate the bourbon without curdling the yolk mixture.
Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold in Egg Whites and Cream:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk-bourbon mixture. Then fold in the whipped cream until just combined, creating a light and airy texture.
Refrigerate to Age:
- Transfer the eggnog to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 days, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth texture.
Serve and Garnish:
- When ready to serve, pour into chilled glasses and sprinkle with nutmeg for a festive touch.
Notes
This Kentucky-Style Eggnog is beautifully thick and airy, with a light golden color and a cloud-like texture from the whipped egg whites and cream. The bourbon adds a distinct warmth, which mellows and deepens as it ages in the fridge. For best results, give it a good stir before serving, as aging allows the flavors to blend into a smooth, rich treat. This eggnog is perfect for holiday parties or small gatherings, adding a touch of Southern charm to your festivities.
