Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional)
  • Whipped cream, for serving
  • Chocolate shavings, for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the Milk and Cream. In a large saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let it boil!
  • Temper the Egg Yolks. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale yellow. Slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot chocolate mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
  • Combine and Cook. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining chocolate mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Don’t let it boil!
  • Whisk the Egg Whites. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in the Egg Whites. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add Rum (Optional). Stir in the rum, if using.
  • Chill and Serve. Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher or bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
