1. Process milk and banana in blender or food processor until smooth. Mix sugar and cornstarch in medium saucepan; stir in milk mixture. Heat to simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
|
|
2. Lightly beat egg yolks in small bowl; whisk about 1/2 cup milk mixture into egg yolks. Whisk yolk mixture back into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
|
|
3. Remove from heat; stir in rum, crème de cacao and vanilla. Pour into large heatproof pitcher or bowl. Cover; refrigerate until chilled.
|
|
4. Just before serving, stir half-and-half into eggnog mixture. Serve in mugs or punch cups; garnish with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkles of cocoa. Tie pieces of ribbon around candy canes; use as stirrers.
