This recipe does not call for the eggs to be cooked. I think you could
modify it by substituting a quart of milk for one of the quarts of ice cream
and whisking the eggs and milk together in a saucepan over medium heat until it
just begins to simmer. Then cool that mixture in the fridge and proceed with
combining everything as per the recipe.
3 Large eggs
1/8 teaspoon Ground ginger
1 quart Orange juice
2 quarts Vanilla ice cream -- softened
1/4 cup Lemon juice
1 quart Ginger ale
2 tablespoons Sugar
Ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 Dash ground cloves
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Mix in the orange
and lemon juices, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Spoon
the ice cream into a large punch bowl; stir in the egg mixture
until combined. Refrigerate if not serving immediately. Before
serving, pour in the ginger ale. Sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
Makes 18 (6 oz) servings. COMMENTS: Ginger ale, spices, and citrus
juices enliven old-fashioned eggnog, making a fabulously refreshing
and lighter variation.
