Ingredients

Hot Chocolate:
1 quart eggnog (or recipe follows)
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 tablespoons black coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream or marshallows for topping

8 egg yolks
1 1/3 cup cream
2 2/3 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon 1/4 nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
pinch of salt

Instructions

Hot Chocolate:

1. Pour 1 quart of eggnog into a medium saucepan and place over low heat until simmering hot but do not boil. While eggnog is warming up, mix together cocoa, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
2. When eggnog is warm, scoop a few large spoonfuls of mixture into cocoa/brown sugar bowl while whisking and stir until smooth. Scrape mixture into eggnog and add the coffee and vanilla and simmer until it begins to thicken. Pour into mugs and top with marshmallows or whipped cream if desired.

Homemade Eggnog:

1. Beat egg yolks with sugar in a large mixing bowl until sugar is mostly dissolved. Combine milk, cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat (Basically, you just want it very warm to temper your yolks).
2. Ladle a few spoons at a time of the warm milk mixture into egg yolks while whisking to allow yolks to warm up without cooking. Continue until it is all combined then return pan to heat and bring mixture to 160 degrees F (70 C).
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes then stir in vanilla and pour into sealable container. Store any extra in fridge for up to 1 week..
