if you do it the traditional way (whip the whites into meringue and all that) you'll probably get an eggnog-ish thing, and it'll probably be fine, but the nogonnaise (mayonnog?) you accidentally made here? that's got *potential*

I just busted out laughing at the word "nogonnaise" and I'm going to be laughing about it in my office all day!!!

Dude, you were halfway to butter!

Blend the yolks with a little water or just the booze first to break them down, then shake with the heavy cream.

It’s gotta be some kind of unholy butter/mayo hybrid.

It's what possibly happened to the egg whites that's baffling me. Don't worry, I'm working on my research.

Over whipped egg whites have that curdy consistency, too. I think a multi-stage folding in of all the various whipped ingredients would probably work best.

I think a pivot to making @Regularjinks’ Mayonogg is a great idea. Or noggled eggs. Or a feast of nog, where everything has been, well, nogged. Fettuccine al Noggo. Nog chowder. That sort of thing.

For the record everybody I ate some of the chunky stuff and it was delicious

I imagine you've already considered this, but using soy-cured yolks as a replace immediately popped into my mind after seeing the delicious eggnog okara you've conjured

See if you can make ice cream from the clot? Cuz..I mean you’re basically there but for the freeze. That would be my next move, enticing as eggnog ricotta sounds. Can’t wait til next week (but I have those old links you included to investigate in the meantime 👏🏻👏🏻)!!!

When I flew back from Singapore, I had 5kg of Irvin's in my suitcase. In the past two weeks most of those kilos have gone into my face and onto my arse.
