Eggnog Ice Cream

[OldHickory]

This is one of my fav's for this time of year.

                                                                    EGGNOG ICE CREAM

1 gt  Your own or your fav commercial eggnog,,,, as long as it is rich in cream and egg yolks,,,,, I use Altadena here.
1 c whipping cream
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
3 tbs vanilla


Bring eggnog and whipping cream up to approx. 150* , then let cool
Whisk egg yolks until they lighten in color, then gradually add the sugar and salt.
Temper the cream-eggnog mixture slowly into the eggs by gradually adding small amounts ( don't want to cook the eggs )  Return the mixture to low heat, stirring often until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon--approx. 170*- 175*.  Let stand at room temp. for 30 min's then place in refer to chill down, then in freezer until temp is 40* or below.  Now add the vanilla and nutmeg then into your ice cream maker and process until firm.

Hope you enjoy!!!
