Ingredients

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp Swerve confectioners'-style sweetener
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 oz rum or bourbon (optional)
  • cinnamon stick or nutmeg, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and Swerve until light and airy.
  2. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, almond milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir occasionally 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 continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and rum or bourbon, if using.
  7. Serve warm or chilled, garnished 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.
