Ingredients

1. 6 large eggs, separated
2. 1 cup sugar, divided
3. 1 cup bourbon*
4. 2 cups heavy whipping cream
5. 1 cup whole milk
6. Garnish: grated fresh nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and ⅓ cup sugar with a mixer at medium speed until well combined. Slowly add bourbon, beating until smooth.
2. In another large bowl, beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add ⅓ cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
3. In a third large bowl, beat cream with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining ⅓ cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into egg mixture; stir in milk. Serve immediately at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until cold. Garnish with nutmeg, if desired.

Notes

1. Consuming raw eggs poses a risk of salmonella, which is greater for the very young, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. Pasturized raw eggs can be used to avoid this risk.
2. *We used Maker’s Mark Kentucky Bourbon Whisky.
