Tom and Jerry Mix

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds confectioners' sugar
• 0.5 pounds unsalted b utter
• 6 eggs , separated
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground mace
• 0.25 teaspoons ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom

Instructions

1. 1

   Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

2. 2

   Beat egg whites in a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl until foamy; continue to beat until soft peaks form. (Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.) Stir egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Stir in salt, mace, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom.

3. 3

   To use the mixture, combine 1 cup hot milk and 1 ounce rum in a mug. Stir in 1 tablespoon Tom and Jerry mix.
