  • Place mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
  • 20-30 minutes before serving, stir in the milk, nutmeg and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl,
    beat egg whites until they become stiff. Fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
  • In a third
    bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Do not overbeat.
  • Fold the whipped cream
    into the egg mixture. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg.

  • *NOTE: When a recipe requires "raw" eggs as an ingredient, there is always a concern that
    potentially harmful bacteria may have invaded the egg which may cause illness in humans. Although
    the probability is low (1 in 20,000 eggs), the concern does exist; therefore, if you are concerned
    about using raw eggs, consider an egg substitute, such as pasteurized whole eggs, egg white
    substitutes, or meringue powder, to reduce the potential of bacterial contamination.
