Ingredients

8 servings
  • 10 egg yolks
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup dark rum (* optional)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

  1. Prepare an ice bath big enough to put the bottom of the saucepan in (I use the kitchen sink).

  2. Whisk egg yolks until light in color and slightly foamy.

  3. Combine milk, sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.

  4. Scoop about 2 cups of the hot milk mixture into the eggs a little bit at a time whisking after each addition.

  5. Pour the warm egg mixture into the milk and whisk over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  6. Remove from heat, place in ice bath and whisk 2-3 minutes.

  7. Stir in cream, rum and vanilla. Chill at least 24 hours.

  8. Serve over ice with a dash of nutmeg.
