Sugar Free Eggnog

Sugar Free Eggnog is a rich and creamy holiday drink that uses unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, and a blend of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for traditional eggnog flavor without added sugar. Egg yolks are whipped with a low-carb sweetener, then combined with dairy and vanilla extract, chilled before folding in whipped egg whites for a light, frothy texture. Optional rum adds warmth, making this a festive choice for those seeking a sugar-free alternative.

Ingredients

  • 3 egg separated, large
  • ¼ cup / 50g allulose or powdered erythritol (¼ cup / 40g, granulated
  • 1 cup almond milk 240 ml, unsweetened
  • ½ cup heavy cream 120 ml
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or the seeds from 1 vanilla pod
  • ¼ to ½ cup rum 60-120 ml, or use cognac or bourbon (or a mix) - optional
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
To serve
  • nutmeg freshly grated; or a good pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the egg yolks and low carb sweetener in a large mixing bowl and whisk using a hand balloon whisk until pale and creamy.
  2. Whisk in the almond milk, cream, vanilla, spices and your chosen liquor (if using).
  3. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  4. When ready to serve, whisk the egg whites and 1 additional tablespoon allulose until fluffy peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the eggnog. I also added some to the top like cappuccino foam.
  5. Top with nutmeg, cinnamon or both.

Notes

  • This recipe yields approximately four 140 ml servings with about 1g net carbs each.
  • For egg safety concerns, pasteurized egg whites from a carton can replace raw egg whites.
  • To prepare a cooked version, temper the egg yolks with warm almond milk mixture and simmer until thickened, then add alcohol after cooling.
  • Use the cooked egg whites separately to make sugar-free meringues if opting for the cooked eggnog.
