Keto Eggnog Delight Festive Holiday (Printable version)
Rich, creamy low-carb holiday drink with traditional spices
# What You’ll 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, but do not boil.
02 - Whisk eggs and powdered erythritol in a mixing bowl until pale and smooth.
03 - Gradually ladle the warm milk mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly. This tempers the eggs and prevents curdling.
04 - Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 to 8 minutes.
05 - Remove from heat. Stir in ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add rum or bourbon now if using.
06 - Pour 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.

02 -
- If you see any curdling while tempering, immediately pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and keep going

03 -
- Grate your nutmeg fresh right before adding it for the most intense aroma
- A stick blender creates the frothiest texture if you want that coffee-shop style foam
