Last week I made a pumpkin soup and The Breville 9.6V Cordless Hand Blender could not have been more help. It was perfect. I only needed one bowl – no messy blender to have to clean up – and it didn’t whip and excess air into the soup. Delicious.
The Breville Cordless Stick Blender provides as much power as a traditional blender without having to be connected to an outlet. The stainless steel blender attachment has two large blades that blend everything from smoothies, milkshakes, whipped cream, cocktails and more.
It's available here at Breville.com for $99.99.
And to help kick of your holidays, enjoy this perfect holiday drink from Breville - Eggnog Dominican Style.
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup evaporated milk
½ - ¾ cup white rum, or to taste
1 cup water
2 whole cloves
½ teaspoon vanilla
3 cinnamon sticks
4 egg yolks, well beaten
Ground cinnamon for garnish
In a 2 quart stainless steel heavy gauge pot, combine the egg yolks and all the liquids except the rum. Insert the Breville Cordless Stick Blender and process for 30 seconds until well blended. (The mixture will be very foamy and frothy, once heated and stirred this well lessen). Once the liquids are well combined, place the pot on a medium low heat for 8 -10 minutes, using a rubber spatula continue to stir and scrap the bottom of the pot. Using a quick read thermometer checking as the milk heats check with the thermometer until it reaches 140 degrees. Continue stirring continuously, you will notice that it will get slightly thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat and transfer the liquid into an ice bath. Continue stirring with a rubber spatula and once the eggnog reaches room temperature and has cooled down; add the rum and vanilla extract.
Strain into an airtight container and refrigerate, preferably overnight, before serving.
When ready to serve pour into punch glasses and sprinkle with cinnamon for garnish. Dominican Eggnog may be served on the rocks if desired.
