Makes 6 servings (about 6 ounces each)
Banana adds a surprisingly delicious flavor and creaminess to eggnog. Festive candy cane stirrers make serving it even more fun!
 
Ingredients
2 cups milk
1 large ripe banana, cut into pieces
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 egg yolks
2/3 cup light rum
1/4 cup crème de cacao
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups half-and-half, chilled
  Whipped cream
  Unsweetened cocoa powder
6 miniature candy canes
Supplies
  Red and/or green ribbon
   
1. Process milk and banana in blender or food processor until smooth. Mix sugar and cornstarch in medium saucepan; stir in milk mixture. Heat to simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Lightly beat egg yolks in small bowl; whisk about 1/2 cup milk mixture into egg yolks. Whisk yolk mixture back into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
3. Remove from heat; stir in rum, crème de cacao and vanilla. Pour into large heatproof pitcher or bowl. Cover; refrigerate until chilled.
4. Just before serving, stir half-and-half into eggnog mixture. Serve in mugs or punch cups; garnish with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkles of cocoa. Tie pieces of ribbon around candy canes; use as stirrers.
