Thick Venezuelan Eggnog Recipe
Thick, creamy Venezuelan eggnog with no flan mix or cornstarch, and it all comes down to how you whip the yolks. Ready in half an hour, and even better after two hours in the fridge.
Servings: 12 people

Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks (7 if your eggs are small)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz 397 g
- 1 can vaporated milk 12 fl oz 354 ml
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup Ron de Venezuela Santa Teresa Añejo 240 ml
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 10 ml
Instructions
- In a bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the yolks for 10 to 12 minutes, until they turn into a pale yellow cream with the consistency of homemade mayonnaise.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and whip for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth.
- Add the evaporated milk and whip until combined.
- Transfer the yolk and milk mixture to a pot with the cinnamon stick over medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 12 to 15 minutes. Never leave the pot unattended, so the eggnog doesn’t stick or get lumpy. Don’t let it boil: it’s ready when little bubbles form around the edge and it starts to steam.
- Remove from the heat. Add the rum and vanilla and stir. You can discard the cinnamon stick or leave it in. Using a funnel, pour the eggnog into a sterilized bottle.
- You can drink it right away over ice, but ideally chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve it on its own or over ice.

Notes
- Nutritional values are approximate and were calculated automatically with WordPress Recipe Maker. They may vary depending on the specific ingredients and brands you use.
- Unlike other eggnogs that need several days in the fridge to thicken, this one is thick from the start. It keeps thickening in the fridge, and the more days go by, the better it tastes.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free.
- If your eggs are small, use 7 yolks.
- If the egg curdles, strain or blend the mixture.
- If you don’t have evaporated milk, use whole milk in the same amount.
- Keeps up to a month in the fridge, in sterilized glass bottles.
