Ingredients
1 cup eggnog (full-fat)
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (plus more for greasing)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter 4 ramekins (6-ounce) and coat with granulated sugar. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together eggnog, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in egg yolks one at a time.
4. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and beat to stiff, glossy peaks.
5. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the eggnog mixture to lighten it. Fold in remaining egg whites carefully until fully incorporated.
6. Divide the mixture evenly into prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
7. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door mid-bake.
8. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure the ramekins are fully coated with butter and sugar to help the soufflé climb and avoid sticking.
Let the custard base cool before adding egg yolks to prevent scrambling.
Serve immediately for maximum height and dramatic presentation.
