- 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg -plus additional for serving
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream - for serving
Instructions

After one minute you can add half (two cups) of the milk. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and continue to whisk as needed. When the heat reaches 170 you can remove this from the heat (20-25 minutes). Please keep an eye on it as it tempers.
- Remove the tempered ingredients from the stove. Whisk for one minute and then add then remaining milk, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Alcohol can be added as well. Cover and refrigerate for until chilled (1-3 hours depending on how chilled you want it to be)

Recipe Notes
As noted , possibly the most important thing to remember in this recipe is tempering the egg yolks to minimize the risk of catching salmonella. To do this, heat or temper the egg yolks on the stove, whisking constantly, to 160 degrees (f) to make them safe for consuming according to the experts. A workaround for this would be to use already pasteurized egg yolks.

Simply swap out your milk with a nut milk, coconut milk for the heavy cream and soaked raw cashews for the eggs. Choose sugar free options if sugar is also a concern.
