Motley Moose – Archive

To assist those who enjoy entertaining at home, I present the secret recipe for the concoction known to Air Force personnel as “Moose Milk”. Originally made with milk obtained from a lactating Alces alces, the practice was eventually curtailed.

Too many pilots and flight crew members began attending morning “sick parades” due to a variety of “non-combat related” injuries, leaving no one to “slip the surly bonds”.

RCAF MOOSE MILK



Ingredients:

12 Egg yolks

40 Oz Canadian Whiskey

40 Oz Rum

5 Oz Kahlua

10 Oz Maple Syrup

40 Oz Milk (homogenized – don’t use skim!)

40 Oz Heavy Whipping Cream (not canned)

1 Cup Sugar

Method:

Beat yolks until fluffy and well mixed.

Add sugar and beat mixture until thick.

Stir in milk and liquor

Chill at least 3 hours. Best if can sit overnight.

Then: Whip cream until good and thick (canned whip cream will go flat, so avoid canned cream)

Fold in whipped cream (it will appear as if it has totally thinned out, but don’t worry, that is normal)

Chill for another hour.

Sprinkle the top with nutmeg and cinnamon.]

Should be kept chilled because of the raw eggs. This should not be a problem as Moose Milk disappears quite quickly.

Should serve a crowd of fifty….

Or ten pilots.
