In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until thick and creamy. In a large saucepan, bring milk to a simmer. Slowly pour half the milk into egg yolk mixture, beating constantly. Slowly pour back into milk remaining in saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Refrigerate until cold.
Just before serving, whip cream to soft peaks. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks; gently fold into whipped cream. Fold cream and egg white mixture into chilled egg yolk mixture. Stir in rum or bourbon, if desired. Pour into glasses and top with nutmeg.
