Preparation

1. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a heavy saucepan until well blended. Whisk in the milk. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and steam starts rising. The mixture should register 140 degrees on an instant-read or candy thermometer.
2. Strain into a bowl. Stir in the nutmeg, vanilla, rum or bourbon and brandy. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about two hours.
3. Fold in the whipped cream and serve, sprinkled with a little nutmeg, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
