    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 15
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    12 Hy-Vee large eggs
    4 c. Hy-Vee 2% reduced-fat milk
    2 ½ tsp. Hy-Vee vanilla extract
    1 ½ c. Hy-Vee granulated sugar
    1 c. white chocolate chips
    4 c. Hy-Vee half-and-half
    1 ¼ c. peppermint schnapps
    Crushed candy canes, or peppermint candies, for garnish
    15 peppermint sticks, for garnish

    Things To Grab

    • Large saucepan
    • Whisk
    • Large bowl
    • Candy thermometer
    • Spoon
    • fine-mesh sieve
    • 15 6-oz glass mugs
    • Ladle

    Directions

    1. Separate eggs; set yolks aside. Reserve whites for another use.

    2. In a large saucepan, combine milk and vanilla extract. Bring to boiling, whisking occasionally.

    3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thoroughly combined. Slowly add milk mixture to eggs whisking vigorously. Pour mixture back into saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches at least 165 degrees and coats the back of the spoon, about 5 minutes.

    4. Remove saucepan from heat; add white chocolate chips. Stir until completely incorporated and smooth. Stir in half-and-half and peppermint schnapps. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into an extra-large bowl. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

    5. Before serving, dip a 6-oz glass mug in water and line the rim with crushed peppermint candies, if desired. Ladle 6-oz. into each cup and garnish with a peppermint stick, if desired.
