Ingredients
  

For the Eggnog Base
  • 6 large Egg Yolks Provide richness and a creamy base; no substitution recommended for keto.
  • 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk Adds creaminess without the carbs; coconut milk can also be used.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Essential for texture and contributes to the richness; opt for full-fat.
For Sweetness and Spice
  • 1/2 cup Erythritol Sweetness without the carbs; other keto-approved sweeteners can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon For warming spice notes; a dash of nutmeg complements the flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg Adds a unique spiced flavor; fresh nutmeg may elevate the taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor complexity; homemade vanilla extract yields a richer essence.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Saucepan
  • fine mesh sieve

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk egg yolks and erythritol in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Heat almond milk and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring in cinnamon and nutmeg; simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  3. Gradually combine the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking continuously until fully combined.
  4. Cook the mixture back in the saucepan on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in vanilla extract and chill.
