A glass of Sugar-Free Eggnog garnished with nutmeg

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for a richer taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: ½ cup rum or bourbon for an adult twist

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add the erythritol (or your chosen sweetener) and continue whisking until fully combined.
  2. In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and heavy cream. Stir occasionally until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  3. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  4. Once combined, return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Do not allow it to boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. If desired, add the rum or bourbon at this stage for an alcoholic version.
  6. Let the eggnog cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
  7. Serve in chilled glasses, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
