servings2007 eggnog based upon the 2005 Mocha Eggnog but shooting to replicate the flavors found in Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
Ingredients
- Group A:
2 c. whole white milk
2 c. midnight chocolate milk (Promised Land)
2 T. Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate Mix
1 vanilla bean, split
½ c. granulated sugar
2 T. molasses
Zest of 2 medium navel oranges
- Group B:
1 ½ c. confectioner’s sugar
¼ c. flour
¼ t. salt
16 egg yolks
- Group C:
1 ½ c. whole white milk
1 ½ c. midnight chocolate milk (Promised Land)
2 T. Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Hot Chocolate Mix
1 ½ c. heavy cream
¼ c. confectioner’s sugar
1 T. vanilla extract
1/3 c. Bailey’s Irish Cream
1/3 c. Paula’s Texas Orange liqueur
1/3 c. Godiva Chocolate Cream liqueur
Directions
- Combine “Group A” ingredients in heavy saucepan and allow to infuse over low heat while whisking yolks.
- Combine “Group B” ingredients and whisk/beat. Keep adding & whisking sugar until pale yellow and satin-like in texture.
- Bring “Group A” ingredients to a boil, then gradually whisk into yolk mixture.
- Return all to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or until foam subsides and mixture thickens to the consistency of heavy cream (it should coat the back of a wooden spoon). Do not boil, or the egg mixture will curdle.
- Strain mixture, set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- Lightly whip cream and sugar from “Group C” ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Combine egg mixture with cream, and then transfer to storage containers.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Shake well, add your preferred spirits, and enjoy with an additional dusting of nutmeg, if desired.
Notes
- Step 3: Be patient while beating yolks… they get thick!
- Step 5: Cook the mixture gently to an internal temperature of 160 °F which will kill any bacteria… too much higher and you get scrambled eggs!
- Step 7: Too much whipping results in more separation of the cream & nog.
- You could 100% Promised Land Midnight Chocolate Milk instead of white milk with hot chocolate mix
