Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups sugar
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups evaporated milk
  • 2 cups half and half

Instructions

  • In a separate glass bowl, stir evaporated milk and half and half until combined.
  • Heat egg mixture over medium-low heat while stirring constantly to prevent the milk from scorching. When mixture reaches 160 degrees on a candy thermometer, remove from heat and slowly whisk in evaporated milk mixture.

  • Refrigerate overnight or until thoroughly chilled.
