Ingredients 6 Large Eggs 1 Cup Heavy Cream 2 Cups Whole Milk 1 Cup Sugar 1 Cup booze of your choice Cinnamon Sticks
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Mix the sugar and egg yolks until creamy. In a separate bowl add your heavy whipping cream and blend until it begins to thicken. Slowly, add in the milk, then booze. Add the blended sugar/egg yolk to the milk and cream mixture until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they begin to form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the eggnog. Serve with a cinnamon stick.
Over the years, I have tried several eggnog recipes and this is the result of that experiment!
And if neither one of those work, the recipe is as follows:
3oz flour 3oz breadcrumbs 6oz raisins, chopped 6oz dried currants, chopped 4oz fresh apple, chopped 2 oz candied orange peel, chopped nutmeg (use judgment, but shown is about 1tsp) 3 eggs (beaten)
Combine above ingredients and stir well. Then add: 1 gill brandy salt (go with about 2 tsp). 5 oz white sugar 6 oz suet (this is KIDNEY FAT, not the stuff sitting in the meat department. Ask for it specifically at your butcher)
Take a large piece of cloth, such as muslin (natural fiber), and flour the top side. Scoop in contents of the bowl. Tie the cloth up in a ball, and place into boiling water to cover the batter. Boil (keep replenishing the water, so keep an eye on it) 3 hours. Remove from cloth to a plate; allow to cool some before serving.
Here's one I found in an old copy of Betty Crocker's Good & Easy Cook Book. I'm going to make it for the first time this year...

Haha, being a food junkie, i have already started collecting my Christmas recipes one month early, i guess i will try this out and learn to perfect the final product before time catches up on me.. looks yummy, i love anything with an egg in it.
I'm pretty sure this is the recipe my mother used at Thanksgiving. It wasn't bad, as far as custard pies go. I happen to like them, but I'm in the minority in my family. If anything I think I would've seen if I could get away with a slightly deeper pie dish.

Been two years since someone posted recipes here or comments on ones already here! With all the distancing and possible upcoming lock downs this would be a good time to get your families in the kitchen! SHARE please.

1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 tablespoons white sugar 3 tablespoons melted butter 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 1 cup white sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup eggnog 2 eggs 3 tablespoons rum such as Captain Morgan Spiced 1 pinch ground nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
In a medium bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a food processor combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour and eggnog; process until smooth. Blend in eggs, rum and nutmeg. Pour mixture into cooled crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 250 and bake for 45 minutes, or until center of cake is barely firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and immediately loosen cake from rim. Let cake cool completely before removing the rim.
I use my KitchenAid to combine the cream cheese, etc and I make a gingersnap crust rather than the graham crackers.
I use my convection oven though my oven automatically changes the temp for the convection and absolutely make sure you loosen the rim immediately or the 'cake' will crack as it cools. You can make a sauce for it or just use whipped cream (which I do) or have it plain.
But I can tell you there's never anything left and there's only 8 of us for dinner at Christmas.
