For an even smoother texture, consider using a blender or immersion blender to combine the yolk mixture after refrigeration. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute with vanilla extract or rum extract. Freshly grated nutmeg is essential for the best flavor. Avoid using pre-ground nutmeg. Make sure your bowls and beaters are completely clean and grease-free when whipping egg whites for maximum volume. Pasteurized eggs are recommended, especially if serving to pregnant women, children, or individuals with compromised immune systems.

Jul 22, 2024A bit too rich for my taste, but everyone else at the party raved about it! Next time, I might try using a bit less heavy cream.
