Eggnog is known as a milk punch typically made with brandy or rum. In this adaptation I make it into a parfait (kind of like a custard) by setting it with grass fed gelatin. You can make this recipe with cows milk or coconut milk for dairy free. For a hot summers evening or Christmas Day dessert this is a healthy and nutrient dense option. The liquor is optional but does add a nice flavour.
The Recipe
400ml milk or coconut milk
1/2 Cup Wolki Farm raw honey
4 cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large egg yolks or 5 small
1 tablespoon grass fed gelatin (I like Gelpro brand)
2 tablespoons water
40ml of brandy or rum
Method
Add gelatin to a small bowl with the water to allow it to bloom. It will become thick.
Add the milk to a saucepan with the spices and on a medium/low heat allow to infuse for 8 minutes. Don’t let the milk boil.
Whisk the yolks, honey and vanilla together in a small jug. Turn the heat off the milk once infused and sieve out the cloves.
Add the gelatin and yolk mixture into the milk whisking constantly.
Return to heat for 1 minute stirring constantly.
Pour into stemless wine glasses or a fun cocktail glasses. Allow to set in the fridge for 2 hours.
Notes: This recipe serves 4-6, you’ll need this many glasses
Sprinkle some cinnamon on top to serve
Decorate or serve with fresh berries or grilled pineapple
