Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 quarts whole milk, divided
• 2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• Whipped cream, additional nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks

Directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together eggs, sugar and salt. Gradually add 1 qt. milk. Cook and stir over low heat until a thermometer reads 160, about 25 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; stir in vanilla, nutmeg, and the remaining milk. Place bowl in an ice-water bath; stir frequently until cool. If mixture separates, process in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
