RECIPE BY: Chef #261868

This eggnog's rich, cloudlike texture is produced by separating the eggs and beating the whites before adding them to the milk mixture. The eggnog base can be made one day in advance; just beat in the stiff egg whites and whipped cream just before serving.

    This Christmas was my second year making this recipe. It really is so delicious. Cloud-like is true. If your only eggnog has come out of a paper container, get ready to have your mind blown. This is really more like a cappucino than the cloyingly thick nog you might be used to. Buy, yes, it is boozy so be careful. I only had about 1/2 cup of cognac, so I substituted more bourbon. Still very flavorful — of course I always feel that way about bourbon, and there is only one kind: Maker's Mark. CHEERS!

    This is the second year for me and yes it is wonderful! Not that clawing flavor of store bought nog. Making it the day ahead is a great timesaver.
