    Why we ❤️ it

    It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yeah, even for a Grinch like me. What's not to love? Family, friends, food, and fresher days (colder where you live maybe). And we can enjoy all things hot and warm without fear of spontaneously combusting. And yeah, Ponche de Desayuno (Breakfast Eggnog).

    I know you know, but just a quick reminder that not all eggnogs contain alcohol, and this is one of them.

    And now a small confession: Ponche de Desayuno (Breakfast Eggnog) is not part of my family tradition. As a matter of fact, I came to learn that some people had eggnog for breakfast when I was long out of my parental home.

    Yeah, breakfast eggnog, whowouldathunk!?

    About this recipe

    There are many versions of this drink, with chocolate (instead of coffee), with alcohol (yeah, for breakfast, seriously), and some people add whole eggs (not just the yolk), some eat it partially cooked.

    I have a pretty rational fear of salmonellosis, so I made sure it was sufficiently cooked. If this is something your family likes, I'd love to hear about your own version.

    Salud!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cup evaporated milk, [7 dl]
    • 2 egg yolk
    • ¼ cup sugar (white, granulated), [55 g]
    • A pinch of salt
    • 1 cup hot strong coffee, [2.4 dl], freshly brewed
    • nutmeg (freshly-grated)

    Instructions
     

    • Heating milk
      Heating milk: Heat milk, making sure it does not break the boil.
    • Mixing eggs and milk
      Mixing eggs and milk: Mix eggs, sugar, and salt. Whisk until it is thoroughly mixed. Add the milk, starting with small quantities and mixing thoroughly before adding more milk. Stir in coffee.
    • Heating eggnog
      Heating eggnog: Return the eggnog to the pot and heat over medium-low heat, stirring until it starts to become foamy and a bit thicker (about 5 mins).
    • Pouring Ponche de Desayuno (Breakfast Eggnog)
      Cooling and serving: Remove the eggnog from the heat and whisk until it becomes a bit cooler (so it doesn't form a crust). Sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately.

    Tips and Notes

    If you want to make the chocolate version, substitute ¼ cup of unsweetened powdered cocoa dissolved in an extra cup of hot evaporated milk for the cup of coffee.
    For a keto version use heavy cream instead of evaporated milk, and, instead of adding sugar on the second step, sweeten to taste with sweetener of your choice once the eggs are cooked through.

    I remember having this many years back but with wine in it. Do you know that recipe? I remember it being delicious.

    Hello, sounds delicious but at what point do you add the coffee you mention in the ingredients? I don’t see that step in the instructions. Thank you.
