  • 8 - Large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup - Powdered sugar

In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat egg yolks at medium-high speed until thick and pale yellow. Slowly add two-thirds of a cup of the powdered sugar (save one-third for later) and beat until fully dissolved. Add the rum (or other spirits), milk, heavy cream, nutmeg and almond extract and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they maintain soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining one-third cup of powdered sugar and beat until incorporated and stiff peaks form. Gently whisk the egg whites into the eggnog mixture. Chill, and serve in a punch bowl. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg sprinkled on top.
