Blended Eggnog Cocktail

• 4 cups milk
• 8 large egg yolks
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg plus a little to garnish
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup cream optional
• ice to serve

1. Place milk in saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer.
2. Meanwhile, beat egg yolks and sugar with electric mixer on high, until pale and fluffy.
3. Pour hot milk into yolks and beat to combine. Transfer to clean saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, for 6-8 mins, until thickened mixture coats back of spoon. Remove from heat and transfer to large bowl. Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and bourbon. Refrigerate until chilled, up to 24 hours.
4. Place eggnog, cream (if using) and ice in blender and process until smooth. Use more ice for a thicker cocktail, less for a thinner cocktail. Pour into glasses and dust with nutmeg to serve.
