Sugar Free Eggnog ✨
Indulge in a classic holiday favorite, made sugar-free! This creamy, spiced eggnog is easy to prepare and perfect for festive gatherings, offering a delightful treat without the added sugar.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Hand Mixer
- Medium Saucepan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 1/3 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend use 1/2 cup if you prefer it sweeter
- 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk beverage for a nut-free option
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy cream or full-fat canned coconut milk for a dairy-free option
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Bourbon optional, for adults
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whip the Yolks & Sweetener: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer until they become light yellow and creamy. Gradually add the powdered Besti sweetener, continuing to beat until it's fully dissolved. Set this mixture aside.
- Warm the Milk & Spices: Pour the almond milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a medium saucepan. Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it just starts to bubble around the edges. Take it off the heat immediately and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Temper the Eggs: This crucial step prevents scrambling! Slowly pour a thin stream of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking. Keep whisking to gradually bring the egg yolks up to temperature.
- Thicken the Eggnog: Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens slightly or reaches about 160°F (71°C). Do not let it boil! It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Add Bourbon (If Using): If you're adding bourbon, stir it into the warm eggnog now. This allows its flavor to meld beautifully.
- Chill and Enjoy: Transfer your sugar-free eggnog to a bowl, bottle, or pitcher, cover it, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours until it's thoroughly chilled and thick. Serve cold, perhaps with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg!
