• Once all ingredients are in the yolk/sugar bowl, add back to the pot and while whisking constantly over medium heat, bring to 160 degrees, roughly 4 minutes.
• Pour into a pitcher, cover with plastic wrap, and place in fridge until fully chilled.
• EGGNOG FROSTING
• In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, add all butter and beat on high for 4 minutes, scraping the bowl once light and fluffy.
• Add 4 cups powdered sugar, eggnog, and salt to mixer and mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase speed to high until frosting is smooth.
• Add more powdered sugar if needed to get desired consistency.
