Eggnog- a sweet healthy drink, which is usually cooked for Christmas in many countries. The traditional composition of Eggnog includes alcohol, raw eggs and milk or cream. We took Jamie Oliver's recipe as a basis, only eliminated alcohol (if you wish, you can add 300 ml of rum or bourbon to the drink) and instead of raw eggs we will use heat-treated ones. Eggnog can be served hot, warm or with ice.

  3. Separate the whites from the yolks and place them in different heat-resistant bowls. To build a water bath: pour less than half of the water into a small saucepan and put it on medium heat. Without removing from heat, place a bowl of squirrels on top of the pan so that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water in the pan. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and whip with a mixer until stable peaks for 2-3 minutes.

Eggnog is a holiday beverage that originated in medieval England. Back then, it was made with ale, eggs, and spices. Over time, the recipe evolved to include milk, cream, and spirits like bourbon or rum. Chocolate Eggnog is a modern twist on this classic drink, adding rich chocolate flavor to the creamy, spiced beverage. It's perfect for those who love chocolate and want to try something new during the holiday season.

Tips and Tricks for Chocolate Eggnog Recipe:

  1. Heat the milk and spices gently to avoid scorching or burning.
  2. Use heat-treated eggs to ensure safety.
  3. Melt the chocolate slowly and stir constantly to avoid burning or clumping.
  4. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks for a lighter, fluffier texture in the final drink.
  5. Add alcohol to taste, and adjust sweetness with honey if desired.

Tips for presenting the dish:

  1. Serve hot, warm, or cold, depending on the weather and your personal preference.
  2. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, shaved chocolate, or whipped cream for an elegant touch.
