ingredients

12 eggs, separated
1 ¹⁄₂ cups sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 quart whole milk (4 cups)
1 ¹⁄₂ quarts heavy cream, divided (6 cups)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups Bourbon
¹⁄₂ cup dark rum
2 cups cognac
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened (or more, if desired)

directions

In a very large bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale yellow. Gradually add the sugar and nutmeg, and beat until well mixed. Using a wire whisk, beat in the milk, 4 cups of heavy cream, vanilla extract, bourbon, rum, and cognac.
Before serving, beat the egg whites with a 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff, and fold into the egg mixture. Whip the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream, and fold into the egg mixture. Fold in the ice cream; gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Sprinkle individual servings with additional nutmeg.
NOTE: Eggnog can be refrigerated; however, the cream will rise to the top. Stir the mixture gently to recombine before serving. The amount of liquor can be adjusted to taste.

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
