Thanks to Maria del Mar Sacasa's inspiration, I know how to make it now...with booze. This could be dangerous.
8 large eggs, separated
1/4 C packed organic dark brown sugar
pinch of fleur de sel
2 C organic heavy cream
2 C organic whole milk
1 C brandy
1 C dark rum
1 T pure vanilla extract

freshly grated nutmeg
Note: eggs are more easily beaten when they are at room temperature.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, and salt until thickened and maple-syrup colored. It might take 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the cream and milk, then the rum, brandy, and vanilla.
In another bowl, whip egg whites with a hand-blender until soft peaks form. This might take 2 minutes. Slowly add the granulated sugar and whip until the egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks.
Fold the the eggwhites into the booze mixture. Ladle portions into glasses - I used shot glasses for small servings - and sprinkle with nutmeg for garnish.
Cheers!
