How to Make Creamy Decadent Eggnog Pudding
  1. Gather Ingredients: Begin by measuring out your whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, egg yolks, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
  2. Warm Milk Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir gently until warm.
  3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until pale and fluffy.
  4. Temper Eggs: Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
  5. Cook Until Thickened: Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  6. Add Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in ground nutmeg and vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly before transferring.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm or chill it in the fridge. Dust with nutmeg before serving.
