Keto Eggnog

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time8 mins
Servings: 2 people
Calories: 307kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup Swerve 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

  • Whisk the egg yolks and Swerve together in a medium bowl until light and airy.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, almond milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir often until mixture reaches a simmer and then turn the heat to low.
  • Ladle about 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking as you pour. Do this 2 more times.
  • Once most of the hot milk has been added to the eggs, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.
  • Whisk constantly for a few minutes, until the mixture slightly thickens. (It will thicken more as it cools.)
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and rum or bourbon, if using.
  • Serve warm or chilled (See Note). Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and/or a cinnamon stick.
  • Store eggnog in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

This recipe makes 2 servings of egg nog, which will be about 6 oz each. Macros do not include the optional addition of alcohol. 
Note: Chilled eggnog will be thicker than warm eggnog.
