Enjoy a rich, smooth, chilled dessert that captures the cozy, festive flavor of eggnog. This Creamy Eggnog Panna Cotta is simple to make and delivers a wonderful holiday taste any time of year.

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream: 2 cups
  • Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Egg Yolks: 4 large
  • Eggnog: 1 cup (good quality)
  • Gelatin powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Cold Water: 1/4 cup
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg: 1/4 teaspoon, freshly grated (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. Slowly temper the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  4. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon (it should reach about 170°F). Do not boil.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture until fully dissolved.
  6. Stir in the eggnog and vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a perfectly smooth texture.
  7. Pour the panna cotta mixture evenly into six small ramekins or serving glasses.
  8. Cover each dish with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap gently onto the surface of the liquid to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle lightly with freshly grated nutmeg.

Notes

  • For a more intense eggnog flavor, use a store-bought eggnog that contains alcohol.
  • If you prefer a firmer set, increase the gelatin to 2 1/2 teaspoons.
  • You can unmold the panna cotta by briefly dipping the bottom of the ramekin in hot water before inverting onto a chilled plate.
