🛒 Ingredients:

• 2 cans evaporated milk (12 oz each)

• 2 cups whole milk (or 2%, if that’s what’s available)

• 5 egg yolks

• ½ cup sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, plus more for topping

🥛Directions:

1. Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow and creamy.

2. In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, whole milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Warm over medium heat until just steaming — do not boil.

3. Slowly pour about ½ cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

4. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan.

5. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, for 5–7 minutes or until slightly thickened and creamy.

6. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

7. Let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

8. Serve cold, topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dollop of whipped cream if you’d like.
