How To Make : Eggnog!

I'm back with more recipe video!

Last week I filmed the how to make a Pointe Shoes shaped Shortcake and I ended up with some leftover Egg Yolks, and as a proud Asian #eaa i don't want to waste it, so I decided to turn those Egg Yolks into Eggnog!

For my fellow reader/viewer who might not know what an Eggnog is, it's an American drink, made from milk, cream and egg yolks, this is a festive drink that is popular during Christmas and winter, it's not common in Indonesia, my American friends did occasionally find it in some western supermarket, but it's really overpriced, and I have always wanted to try Eggnog, but I ain't buying those overpriced drink if I can make it myself! It's really easy too! And waaaaayyyyy cheaper than the ones they sell in those overpriced Bule supermarket, lol go to this link for the step by step video:

What you'll need are: 

- 3 eggyolks

- 1 cup of milk

- 1 cup of cream

- 1/2 cup of sugar

- 1 nutmeg

- 1 tiny stick of cinnamon

- 1 shot of cinnamon vodka

STEPS:

1. Grate all the spices as fine as possible

2. Whisk together the yolks and sugar

3. In a medium sized pan, mix in the milk and cream, and bring to simmer, while whisking using medium low heat.

4. Mix in the spices to the milk mixture, and simmer them whilst occasionally stir it for 2 minutes.

5. Whilst whisking the egg mixture, pour in the milk, then pour the eggnog back to the pan, and heat it until it thicken

6. Pour the eggnog into a glass, then mix in the vodka, and you're done!

Isn't it easy AF? hahaha, so quick too, and the best part is: you can add as much alcohol as you desire, traditionally, American uses Rum for Eggnog, but my friend Indira happened to have a cinnamon vodka, which i think will taste INCREDIBLE with this, and guess what? I WAS RIGHT

If you're able to get some cinnamon vodka i recommend you to use it for Eggnog, it's so good!

I hoope you guys like the video! and I'm making more recipe and food adventure for my channel, stay tune! if you like it, please like,share and subscribe! See ya!

I was so bored because i have to rest, i've got fever all week and sore throat but no cough thankfully and even though i supposed to rest i still go practice for dance yesterday and my condition is worse today...stupid me...

ANYWAY i'm getting off topic here,

So a couple of days ago i'm so bored so i tried to make some chocolate that i wanted to share with my family n friends, i decided to make a caramel chocolate fudge with bailey's, and everybody went crazy for it...i was so surprised they liked them because i wasn't sure about my recipe, and now people kept asking for the recipe! I thought i'll just share it here, i hope you guys likes it!

So what you'll going to need are: 

200g of condensed milk

50d unsalted butter

225gr palm sugar

1tbs corn syrup

75gr dark chocolate for cooking, i got a cube ones, but if you don't have it you'll have to chop it so it will melt quicker

And last but not least 

BAILEYS! I didn't measure it because i only put it little by little untill it suit my taste

Now the steps are:

1. In a medium low temperature, Melt the butter in a heavy based pan

2. Add the milk and stir them

3. Add the palm sugar little by little and stir them untill sugar dissolve

4. Add the corn syrup and keep stirring them in medium high temperature for around 25-30 minutes, untill they got thickened and turned into a caramel DO NOT STOP STIRRING OR THE CARAMEL WILL STICK TO YOUR PAN FOREVER

5. After the caramel is thick enough, add the chocolate quickly and stir untill the chocolate dissolve

6. Add the baileys

7. You can grease a pan with butter and put the fudge in the freezer for 1 hour, don't forget to spread them nicely :)

8. After letting the fudge cool down, cut them in cubes(you can use a mold if you want but i prefer the cubes)

And you're done!
