Holiday Egg Nog


Many people are nervous about eating raw egg, but we all stick our fingers in the cookie dough, right? This egg nog recipe comes from my boyfriend's mother. I'm not sure if it is traditional or not, but it is good!

Ingredients:

6 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 pint heavy cream
1 pint of milk...NOT LOWFAT
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 quart vanilla ice cream...Dreyers is best

Separate the eggs...put the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a small bowl. Beat the yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar until it is thick. Beat the whites with the remaining sugar until they are stiff and fold the two together. Blend well. Stir in the cream, milk, and vanilla. Mix together and scoop out chunks of ice cream and add to mixture. Add some brandy to it for a spicy adult beverage! Top the whole thing off with some cinnamon. Yum! Careful...not a slimming drink!
