🛒 The Ingredients

• 1 cup Burnbrae Farms Eggnog

• 1 ½ cups Burnbrae Farms Sugared Yolks

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions

1. Warm the Burnbrae Farms Eggnog 🥛

In a small saucepan, gently heat the Burnbrae Farms Eggnog over low-medium heat until warm and steaming (do not boil).

2. Whisk the Custard Base 🥣

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the Burnbrae Farms Sugared Yolks, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until completely smooth and lump-free.

3. Temper & Thicken 🥄

Slowly pour the warm eggnog into the Burnbrae Farms yolk mixture in a thin, steady stream while whisking continuously. Once combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens into a rich, luscious custard.

4. Cool & Chill ❄️

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and glossy. Transfer the custard to a bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin or crust from forming. Refrigerate until completely cooled and set.

5. Pipe & Present 🥐✨

Once chilled, transfer the eggnog custard into a piping bag. Gently pierce a small hole in the top or side of each croissant and pipe the custard generously inside until full.

To finish, dust the croissants liberally with powdered sugar and a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving!

💡 Chef’s Pro Tips for Success

• Quality Ingredients Matter: Using Burnbrae Farms egg products takes the guesswork out of making scratch custard, ensuring a smooth, rich finish every time.

• Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare the eggnog custard a day or two in advance! Keep it chilled in the fridge, then just pipe and dust right before your guests arrive.
