Ingredients
1 cup eggnog
3 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter for greasing ramekins
Sugar for dusting ramekins
Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Grease ramekins with butter using upward strokes and dust with sugar; set aside.
2. In a saucepan, warm eggnog with nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk egg yolks into the cooled eggnog mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks appear.
5. Fold one-third of egg whites into the base to lighten, then gently fold in the rest using a spatula.
6. Spoon batter into ramekins nearly to the top. Run your thumb along the inside rim for even rise.
7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13–15 minutes until puffed and golden. Do not open oven door.
8. Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
Always use room temperature eggs for better volume and stability.
Ramekins must be properly greased and sugared to help the soufflé rise evenly.
Serve the soufflé immediately after baking for best texture and visual appeal.
