Ingredientes
  • 4 cups (960 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream
  • 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
  • 3 cloves, whole (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) bourbon (optional)
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) rum (optional)
  • Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling
Elaboración
  1. Place egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the whisk (or a large bowl) and whisk at medium-high speed until thick and pale for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat milk, cream, cloves, cinnamon stick (if using), nutmeg and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
  3. Pour 1 cup of the spiced, hot milk mixture into the yolk and sugar mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly.
  4. Gradually pour the milk and yolk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it is thick enough to coat slightly the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F (70ºC). Do not let it simmer.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard the vanilla bean, cloves and cinnamon stick. Whisk in bourbon (and/or rum), if using, and let cool completely.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate to cool completely for about 1 hour (better overnight).
  7. Serve chilled sprinkled with nutmeg. You can serve it with a dollop of either whipped cream or stir in some whipped egg whites.Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.Firma Rosa M Lillo
