For those looking to make their silly season even sillier, there is an option to add rum to the recipe.
Ingredients
• 3 cups whole milk • 1 cup heavy cream • 3 cinnamon sticks • 1 tsp vanilla extract • ½ tsp dried nutmeg • 1 cup pineapple juice • 8-10 pineapple triangles • 3 heaped tbsp brown sugar • 5 eggs, separated • 2/3 cup granulated sugar • 3/4 cup rum (optional) • 1/3 cup coconut flakes
Method
- Pour pineapple juice into a small saucepan, bring to the boil & simmer on medium heat until reduced, allow to cool to room temperature. Strain the juice, remove pulp.
- Add the milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla extract and nutmeg to a separate saucepan - bring to a gentle bubble over a medium heat, turn off & leave to cool to room temp.
- Preheat skillet to medium heat. Dust the pineapple wedges in the brown sugar and place on the pan, cook for 2 mins until sugar caramelizes on both sides. Place egg yolks, granulated sugar & pineapple juice in a large bowl, whisk for 1-2 mins, until light creamy. Pour in the milk, whisking a few times during pouring, until the mixture is combined. Strain again, cover and refrigerate.
- Just before you’re ready to serve, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Pour eggnog over ice and rum (optional), followed by egg whites, shredded coconut, cinnamon & caramelized pineapple triangles.
