Egg Nog

Suggested Piece: Multipurpose 5 Qt (MP5)

Ingredients
2 c. heavy cream
1 c. unsweetened plain almond milk
3/4 c. powdered monk fruit
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Rum extract to taste

Directions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a bowl, stir the egg yolks until smooth. Set aside the egg whites. In a blender or with an immersion blender process monk fruit until powdery fine. Add almond milk, heavy cream, powdered monk fruit, and beaten egg yolks to MP5, and place on medium-low heat (200F). Whisk almost constantly for 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to 160F for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should not be hot enough to simmer. Turn off the heat. Add vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and whisk until spices are well-mixed (they will not completely dissolve). Let stand to cool, and then cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight to chill.

For serving:
When the eggnog is chilled, use fine mesh or cheesecloth to strain the liquid for a smoother drink. Pour into individual glasses, and top with additional nutmeg and garnish with cinnamon sticks. Optionally for a foamier drink: Use a hand mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add as much of the foamy egg whites as desired by stirring with the chilled eggnog, and serve. Optionally for an alcoholic drink: Add desired alcohol to each serving glass, and pour the chilled eggnog over it, stirring a bit.
