1. Beat the egg yolk and sugar in a bowl until they make a smooth paste.
2. Warm the milk in a pan over a low heat. Meanwhile, whisk the egg white until it’s bouncy but not too stiff.
3. Whisk the cream for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Gradually add the yolk mixture to the milk, gently whisking as you pour. Pour in the cream, then the egg white. Take off the heat and stir in the brandy. Pour into glasses, making sure there is some froth on top.
4. Draw a heart on a piece of baking paper and cut it out. Rest the heart cut-out on top of 1 eggnog glass and carefully grate nutmeg over to create a heart shape. Repeat with remaining eggnogs. Serve with salted pretzels that have been dipped into melted plain chocolate, then allowed to set.
