  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup whole milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, and salt.
  2. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk the mixture.

  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the eggnog until chilled, approximately 3 hours.
  6. Just before serving, whisk the Reddi-wip into the homemade eggnog.
