Ingredients:
- 6 eggs, separated
- 1/2 c unprocessed sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
- 2 c brandy
- 2 c heavy cream
- 1 c milk
- 1 c Chestnut puree*
Garnish: whole star anise or fortune cookie
Beat egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, salt, chestnut, cream until it thickens and pales in color and consistency. Slowly beat in milk and brandy. In separate bowl, beat egg whites until consistency is that of a white and fluffy meringue mixture. Gently fold meringue into eggnog and serve. Garnish with a whole star anise or fortune cookie. NOTE: eggnog mixture will separate so keep a spoon handy to stir the pitcher.
* Chestnut Puree: In food processor, add 1 lb can of pureed chestnuts, 1 c unprocessed sugar, 1/2 c water and puree on high until mixture becomes smooth. (Cocktail by Gwen Sutherland Kaiser, Photo by Mary Claire Miraldi)
