How to Make Homemade Eggnog | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@raisinsawdust]

Chef, my daughter and I just had our first glasses of our very own batch of the best egg nog ever! Wow! This recipe is amazing and the flavor is exquisite! We added only bourbon as that is all we had up here in TN! Thank you for being such a great teacher!!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

So glad you like it! 😀👍

[@soavemusica]

Bourbon was wonderful, I`m sure.

[@toriless]

Is No. 7 a Bourbon? I thought it was whiskey? Off to the 'package store' to find out. I prefer the east end of the state even though Gatlinburg is tacky. I only did legal home brew for a short while there. The trees are too wimpy, I prefer a cedar or Douglas Fir.

[@mmtx73]

@@toriless That's a question that can bring people to blows! Ol' No. 7 is Tennessee Whiskey. The only real difference between it and bourbon is they charcoal filter it before bottling.

[@colinoscopy3676]

Stumbled across this channel, I love how easy this recipe looks but man what a personality I love this guy already. Cant wait to try making my own eggnog.

[@jeffhickerson6450]

I love how you inadvertently show us how to fix small mistakes like overcooking your eggs instead of just editing it out. Thanks Chef!

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

If you temper improperly and scramble the eggs, fixing the texture won't make it not taste like scrambled eggs. If you look again, his fix is for after tempering to get the egg/cream mixture smooth again. I've made each mistake before and can vouch for the difference.

[@frankjoseph7456]

@@palaceofwisdom9448 Good looking out

[@justinwong1072]

Inadvertent, ha. He had the immersion blender ready. He deliberately fabricated a teachable moment. :)

[@toriless]

At about 160 F they will start to suddenly thicken, I recommend a slow moving whisk instead of a spatula, you want to avoid too much over 180 like he did not. It tends to cook more, then you need to strain it but he got lucky.

This man is so genuine and down to earth with his teaching. My new favorite chef on KZbin.

🙏🙏🙏😊

[@marlieswhittaker1939]

Me too, just discovered him the other day....hooked. I find him very entertaining and so easy to follow his methods.

[@sidthesloth12]

This man is more than just a YT cook, he was considered one of the best Chefs in his time, and still is. The fact he is giving us his recipes for free, and in video form, is nothing short of complete and utter kindness. Don't take these recipes and cooking instructions lightly, they may not be super detailed, but the way he explains them makes even the most complicated expert recipes easy to follow. As a learning Chef, i have saved every one of his cooking videos in my YT library.

Have the greatest admiration for this man. I’ve said it before but he truly demonstrates he likes what he’s does & loves what he’s doing & more than this he shares it along with sharing his family history & his early life & nurturing by his Mother. He gives credit & honors her in almost every episode. It would be an honor for me to meet him. I could really show him WV.

For People on a Keto Diet out there, this is SOOO close, I tried it with Swerve sugar, and it came out amazing... Thanks Chef, love it!

[@larryrusk7392]

Best eggnog ever, the body and texture makes such a difference. I normally do not like eggnog but this one turned out SOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS we drank all of it before the family arrived. Had to make a second batch! Bravo...

[@m.grieves2120]

So, our family typically goes through 8 - 10L of egg nog every season (there are six of us). But when dad (me) went out to get most recent 2L, the store has sold out...so I got the ingredients per Chef's recipe. Made my first double batch today and my 13 year our "egg nog snob" no longer wants store bought! This has now become part of our family traditions....thank you Chef.

The best recipe against our lockdown depression in Holland is a video by Chef Jean-Pierre. Thanks for a whole year of great recipes and your sense of humour and you are a super teacher! 💖

[@ericramosmd]

Chef, I can't tell you how much you are changing the lives of people in this community. You are an inspiration. I've learned so much watching your videos. I'm making my own butter and clarified butter. I never use water any more when cooking. I'm focused on the texture and the taste. I'm baking more and more, all from scratch. And, most importantly, I'm starting to use the recipe as a guide and owning the flavors. This was a huge step for me as I would try to follow the recipe to the letter. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@divinityomine6935]

Could not agree more ❤

[@HugsXO]

This recipe was so delicious and not sickening sweet like so many other recipes. I just don't think I'll be able to make merengue again without a little giggle.😂

[@judyschramer4051]

We made this Eggnog yesterday and it is fantastic! It’s already gone. I have to make another batch today! Thank you Chef for these great recipes that anyone can make. We love watching you cook.

[@toriless]

I just did a double batch instead.

[@riderxl]

just the way I make it except I Add extra rum and transfer the eggnog to glass one gallon jugs and let it rest in a 50degree or so root cellar for 3-4 weeks before serving this extended rest allows the air to escape making for a richer product Chef's recipe will not disappoint!!!

[@fattymcbastard6536]

I've heard of these aged eggnogs, but have never tried. Why would you want the air to escape, considering the effort it takes to incorporate it in the first place?

[@chrisgreene9713]

I've watched 15 eggnog videos in the past hour and this is by far the best. Practical reasoning behind the simple techniques, and hilarious.

[@HTMLguruLady2]

[@KutaPuta]

He is the Bob Ross of cooking

[@bessredzz]

So I made this and it was divine! Had to do a few alterations and I still had thick, velvety deliciousness!!! I didn't have heavy cream, so I used 3 cups of milk and one can of condensed milk, NO ADDITIONAL SUGAR! I put a little of the condensed milk in the bowl with the yolks and beat that with a hand mixer till pale. As for the milk, I added the remaining condensed milk, stuck with his measurements of salt, cinnamon and fresh nutmeg, but I added 1/8 tsp all-spice, 5 whole cloves and half of a grated Tonka bean to the cold pot then turned on my stove to the lowest flame! At the end don't forget to strain, add the vanilla and use 1 cup of rum/brandy!

[@johnscott3206]

Thanks so much! I made one of these today using the full 10 foot length of the PVC pipes. I upgraded to 3/4” on the pipes and the Pex. I still used the 2” cap but it was a very tight fit! The Pex is a bit too flexible but I have secured all three posts with rebar sunk into the ground and used set screws to hold the legs on to the rebar so I hope it will survive the crazy winds we some times get. BTW I used wood dowel and screws to connect the Pex as others here suggested. So thanks all!
