Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1.5 cup almond milk can also use coconut milk or an almond coconut blend if you want to give it a slightly different flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt just a pinch!
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark rum or bourbon optional
- 2-3 teaspoons rum extract optional, add a little at a time until you get it to the flavor you like
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar substitute until they turn a lighter yellow and are well combined.
- Add the heavy cream, almond milk, nutmeg, and salt to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring often, until it just barely begins to simmer (one or two bubbles will rise the surface and pop every few minutes).
- Remove the almond milk mixture from the heat and begin to temper your eggs by slowly drizzling hot milk into the eggs 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking them as you do so they don’t scramble. Repeat this until you’ve added 3-4 tablespoons.
- Now that the eggs are tempered slowly pour them into the heated milk, stirring continuously.
- Set the stovetop to medium low and place the pot back on the heat. Stir for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. If you have an instant read thermometer you can use it to check the temperature. When it reaches 160 degrees F it is done.
- Remove the eggnog from the heat and stir in the vanilla, and if you’re using it add the dark rum, bourbon, or rum extract.
- Pour the eggnog into a pitcher and cover with plastic wrap or into a sealable container and store in the refrigerator until completely cooled. Approximately 1-2 hours.
- The eggnog will thicken as it cools. If it is too thick for your taste when you are ready to serve you can stir in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream or almond milk (or however much it takes to get to the consistency you want).
