Cappuccino Eggnog

Ingredients
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. instant espresso powder or 4 tsp. instant coffee crystals
1/4 cup light rum or milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp. sugar
Orange peel curls (optional)

Directions
1. In a heavy large saucepan, combine the egg yolks, milk, the 1/3 cup sugar, and the espresso powder or coffee crystals. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat. Cool quickly by placing saucepan in a sink or bowl of ice water and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup rum or milk and the
vanilla. Cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4
hours or up to 24 hours.

2. At serving time, in a chilled medium mixing bowl, combine whipping
cream and the 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with the chilled beaters of an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl).
Transfer chilled egg mixture to a punch bowl. Fold in whipped cream
mixture. Serve at once. If desired, garnish each serving with orange
peel curls. Makes 8 servings.
