Ingredients

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup confectioners'-style sweetener
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 oz rum or bourbon (optional)
  • Cinnamon sticks, star anise, and/or nutmeg (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and confectioners'-style sweetener until light and airy.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the heavy whipping cream, almond milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir often until the mixture reaches a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  3. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking as you pour. Repeat this process 2 more times.
  4. Once most of the hot milk has been added to the eggs, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.
  5. Whisk constantly for a few minutes until the mixture slightly thickens. It will thicken more as it cools.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and rum or bourbon, if using.
  7. Serve warm or chilled and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and/or a cinnamon stick.
  8. Store eggnog in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
