Calories 239 kcal
- 3 large Egg Yolks
- 2/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or Coconut Milk)
- 2/3 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and erythritol. Whisk vigorously by hand or with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This step ensures a smooth, sweet base!
Pour the almond milk and heavy cream into a saucepan. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently heat this mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer and foam around the edges. Then, take it off the heat.
To prevent the eggs from scrambling, slowly pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the whisked egg yolks while continuously whisking the yolks. Gradually add the rest of the warm mixture, always whisking, until everything is well combined.
Return the entire eggnog mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon) and reaches a temperature of 160-170°F (71-77°C). Remove from heat.
For extra smoothness, carefully strain the warm eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool a bit, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill completely until thick and delicious. Enjoy it cold or gently reheat for a warm treat!
