Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb superfine sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 of a quart half & half
  • 1/4 quart whipping (heavy) cream
  • 1/4 of a fifth brandy
  • 3/4 Tbl vanilla
  • 1/2 Tbl nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Separate eggs, beat yolks with 1/2 of the sugar, add half & half, vanilla and brandy (you can leave brandy out and add to individual servings).

Beat egg whites with 1/4 of the sugar (half of what's remaining) and fold in carefully, do not stir. Beat whipping cream with 1/4 of the sugar (all that is left) and fold in, or lightly spread over the top in dollops.

Sprinkle nutmeg on top

Refrigerate for at least an hour

*Note, when preparing the first step, pour the egg yolks into a very large bowl, as all other ingredients are added to them. When moving to punch bowl, make sure you do not over mix.
