Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare Egg Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Beat until smooth and light in color, approximately 3 to 5 minutes with an electric mixer set to medium speed.

Create Spice-Infused Mixture:

  • In a saucepan, mix together milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Heat the mixture on medium heat until warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching and evenly distribute spices.

Gradual Incorporation of Ingredients:

  • Gradually add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the eggs while whisking constantly. Ensure eggs cook slowly without scrambling. Continue adding milk until fully combined.

Cooking and Thickening:

  • Return the combined ingredients to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid boiling to prevent the eggs from turning.

Flavor Enhancement:

  • Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract for a complementary layer of flavor.

Straining and Chilling:

  • Pass the cogg through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl or pitcher to remove lumps and ensure a smooth consistency. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour; the cogg will thicken more as it cools.

Serving Delight:

  • Serve the cogg chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon for extra flavor.
