Ingredients

  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute)
  • 3/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup Almond milk (can also use coconut milk or an almond coconut blend if desired)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 oz Dark Rum or Bourbon (optional)
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon Rum extract (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar substitute in a small bowl until they become lighter in color and well combined.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, almond milk, nutmeg, and salt over medium heat until it barely begins to simmer.
  3. Slowly drizzle the hot milk into the egg mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
  4. Once the eggs are tempered, slowly pour them into the heated milk, stirring continuously.
  5. Return the pot to medium-low heat and stir for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to around 160 degrees F.
  6. Remove the eggnog from the heat and stir in the vanilla, and if desired, add the dark rum, bourbon, or rum extract.
  7. Pour the eggnog into a pitcher and cover with plastic wrap or transfer to a sealable container. Refrigerate until completely cooled, approximately 1-2 hours.
  8. If the eggnog thickens too much, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream or almond milk to reach the desired consistency before serving.
