Ingredients
- 5 large Utopihen eggs, separated
- 2/3 cup sugar, divided
- 2 1/2 cups whole fat milk
- 1 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 tablespoons brandy
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Preparation
- Have a large bowl set aside on the counter.
- Bring water to a simmer in medium pan.
- Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl and place over the pan of simmering water.
- Whisk in 1/3 cup of the sugar. Continue whisking until the mixture looks pale yellow and has thickened, 4-5 minutes.
- Add your milk, brandy, rum and nutmeg to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Pour mixture into large bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and remaining sugar to a soft peak stage. This means they hold their shape but are not stiff.
- Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
- Whisk heavy cream in medium bowl until it thickens and fold into the egg mixture.
- Refrigerate thoroughly, at least 1 hour, and whisk to remix just before serving.
