With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment whisk the egg yolks and sugar until creamy and pale for about 2-3 minutes and set aside.
Heat the milk and cinnamon in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil and stir continuously.
Turn the heat down to low. Add about a ¼ cup of the hot milk to the egg yolks and whisk until combined. Pour the tempered egg yolks into the hot milk.
Cook for about 5 minutes over low heat until the mixture gets thicker. Stir consistently. Do not boil at any time.
Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and nutmeg. Then let cool to room temperature and stir occasionally.
Mix the heavy cream with an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add cream and rum to the cooled milk mixture and stir with a whisk to combine. Chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours but preferably overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
