Add Eggnog and Egg Yolks:

Cook the Pudding:
- Place the pot over medium heat, whisking constantly until the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-8 minutes).
-
Cool and Serve:
- Pour the pudding into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin), and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
