This wonderful and festive egg nog is well complemented by an array of fresh fruit.
- Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until thick, pale and creamy. Gradually add milk.
- To make eggnog, place milk in medium saucepan. Split pod lengthways and use a small knife to scrape out tiny seeds. Add seeds and pod to milk. Bring slowly to boil over medium-low heat, turn off and stand for 5 mins.
- Pour milk mixture into a clean saucepan and stir over very low heat for 10-15 mins until thickened slightly. Do not boil. Strain into a bowl, discarding pod and cool in the fridge, stirring occasionally to release the heat. Stir in the brandy, if using.
- Using electric beaters, beat the eggwhites until soft peaks form. Use a metal spoon or rubber spatula to fold through the cold milk mixture. Serve fruit drizzled with eggnog.
