Hi all! The winter is here, and soon it's X-mas, so what could be better than making a classic Rum-spiked Eggnog? But wait, this is a bbq forum, what if we smoke it first? Well, that's what I did. I made eggnog in my offset smoker. Freakin' delicious, and fun! Can't go back to a regular eggnog after this.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Mix milk/cream and eggs
Getting that oak wood fire started

Aight folks, have a great weekend, Hank is out!!
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 7 tbsp sugar
- 7 tbsp high fat milk
- 7 tbsp cooking cream
- 2 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 tbsp bourbon or rum
- Start up your grill, prepare it for indirect heat, have it running at 130° C / 265° F.
- Put the egg yolks in a bowl and add the sugar while whisking. Keep whisking until the mix is light and fluffy.
- Pour the cream and milk into a disposable aluminum pan together with the cloves and cinnamon. Place the pan on the grill on the cooler side and add a few wood chunks to the glowing embers for smoke flavor. Now put the lid back on.
- Leave the pan for 10 minutes, then open the grill and whisk a few times to blend things together, and let is smoke for another 10 minutes. You want the milk/cream mix to get warm, but it must not boil.
Mix milk/cream and eggs
- Now it's time to mix the contents of the bowl and pan. It's important to go slow here to avoid lumps.
- Carefully pour 1/3 cup of the milk/cream mix at at time into the egg mix while constantly whisking. It's important to not add all of the milk/cream mix too fast, since the eggs are cold and the milk is warm. Keep going until everything's in one bowl.
- Now put the mix back into the grill/smoker for another 15 minutes. Stir a few times during that time.
- Remove the bowl or pan with the egg nog and run it through a strainer to get rid of the cloves, cinnamon and any lumps.
- Leave the eggnog to cool a bit before spiking it with bourbon or rum. Serve in small glasses or mugs.
