Oh, eggnog ice cream! It's THE perfect ice cream to bring a little winter magic to your desserts, even when it's warm outside. Imagine the creamy texture of eggnog, with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, all frozen for a pure moment of comfort. With Ninja Creami, you'll see, it's a piece of cake!
What you need:
- 200 ml of whole milk
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 60g of sugar (adjust to your taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg (fresh if possible for even more flavor)
- 30 ml of rum (optional, but so good if you want a little festive touch)
Preparation :
- Prepare the eggnog base : In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream, without letting it boil. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale and very frothy. Can you already taste the deliciousness? 😉
- Combine the two : Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg yolks, whisking constantly (this prevents the eggs from cooking too quickly). Return everything to the saucepan and heat gently until the mixture thickens slightly, like a custard.
- Add the spices and rum : Off the heat, add the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and if you want a little kick, the rum. Mix well. This step is what gives your ice cream all its flavor and the soul of eggnog.
- Let it cool : Transfer the mixture to a container and let it cool completely. Once cool, pour it into your Ninja Creami jar.
- Freezing : Put your jar in the freezer for at least 24 hours. I know, it's hard to wait, but it's really worth it.
- The moment you've been waiting for : Once your mixture is completely frozen, place the container in your Ninja Creami and select the "Ice Cream" mode. If the texture isn't creamy enough for your liking, you can add a spoonful of milk and restart the Re-spin mode.
- Tasting : It's ready! Your eggnog ice cream is perfect for ending a meal on a high note or for a little guilty pleasure. A dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, and there you have it: a frosty version of a classic.
So, who would have thought eggnog could become such a delicious frozen treat? Try it for yourself, and enjoy! 🎄
