Method:
Eggnog Custard
  1. Combine cream, milk and spices in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to just a simmer
  2. Meanwhile, whisk yolks, cornflour, vanilla and sugar together in a large heatproof bowl. Pour approx. 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk immediately until smooth to temper the eggs
  3. Pour mixture back into the saucepan and cook low heat, stirring constantly, until custard thickens
  4. Strain custard to remove any lumps, cloves and cinnamon quill. Cover the custard surface with a sheet of plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a skin. Set aside to cool. Refrigerate until thickened
