Ingredients

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup oat milk (extra creamy variety)
  • 1 whole clove (or a pinch of ground cloves)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated, plus more for topping)
  • 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp rum extract (or substitute alcohol of your choice)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine oat milk, cloves, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat and bring to a near boil.
  3. Gradually pour about 1/4 cup of hot oat milk mixture slowly into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the egg yolk.
  4. Pour the egg and oat milk mixture gradually back into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Continue to heat over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Strain to remove cloves and let cool for about 1 hour.
  6. Stir in vanilla and rum extract (or alcohol of your choice to taste). Refrigerate before serving, 8 hours to overnight.
