2.Meanwhile, whip egg yolks and sugar in electric mixer on high, until pale and fluffy.

3.Pour hot milk into yolks and beat to combine. Transfer to clean saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for 6 to 8 mins until thickened slightly so mixture coats back of spoon. Remove from heat and transfer to large bowl. Stir through vanilla, nutmeg and bourbon.

4.Refrigerate until chilled. This can be prepared a day in advance.

5.Place eggnog, cream and ice in blender and process until smooth. Make it as thick or runny as you like.
