Keto Eggnog Festive Holiday Cheer (Printer-friendly)

A velvety, spiced holiday drink that keeps you in ketosis while celebrating.

# What You Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
02 - 1 cup heavy cream
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 1/3 cup powdered erythritol

→ Flavorings

05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

→ Optional Serving

08 - 1/4 cup dark rum or bourbon
09 - Whipped cream for garnish
10 - Additional nutmeg or cinnamon for dusting

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine almond milk and heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm gently until steaming, being careful not to boil the mixture.
02 - Whisk eggs and powdered erythritol in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes pale and smooth.
03 - Gradually ladle small amounts of the warm milk mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously. This tempers the eggs and prevents curdling.
04 - Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
05 - Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add rum or bourbon at this stage if using alcohol.
06 - Pour the eggnog into a bowl or pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely chilled.
07 - Pour cold eggnog into glasses. Top with whipped cream and dust with additional nutmeg or cinnamon before serving.

02 -
  • Tempering eggs properly is the difference between silky eggnog and a sweet scrambled disaster
  • Powdered erythritol disappears into the mixture while granular versions leave a weird grittiness
03 -
  • Set out your eggs twenty minutes before starting—room temperature eggs incorporate more smoothly
  • Keep the heat low during thickening and stir constantly, otherwise youll end up with sweet scrambled eggs
