Chef notes
The sweet rich flavor of the maple reminds me of Christmas morning. The rye adds a bit of holiday cheer.
Technique tip: Make sure the egg yolks, sugar, molasses, and maple syrup mixture is well beaten and smooth.
Swap option: For a nonalcoholic version, eliminate the vodka and rye. Add 2 cups milk and an additional 1/2 cup maple syrup.
