Easy Keto Low Carb Eggnog Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger (ground or paste)
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup zero-calorie sweetener
- 1 tablespoon zero-calorie sweetener
- cinnamon stick (optional garnish)
Homemade Whipped Cream (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sweetener
Instructions
Be sure to watch the video above for step by step instruction!
- Add the almond milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to a saucepan on medium heat.
- Separate the egg yolks and egg whites in 2 different bowls.
- Beat/whisk the 4 egg yolks with the sweetener for one minute. This is important because you don’t want the eggnog to clump.
- Add the egg yolks to the saucepan. Stir and whisk repeatedly to avoid lumps in the eggnog. Heat to 170 degrees.
- Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer or standing mixer for 10 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of sweetener to create a meringue and mix until the meringue forms. Add it to the warm mixture. Remove the eggnog from the heat and add it to a pitcher.
- Chill in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Serve!
Homemade Whipped Cream (Optional)
- Add the whipping cream to a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer and mix for 2 minutes. Add in the sweetener. Mix until whipped cream forms.

I use powdered egg yolks, double the heavy cream and skip the whites. A lot easier, and still comes out scrumptious!

Sounds like a delicious alternative to regular egg nog. I love that almond milk is added to the mix and, for the holidays, a little alcohol wouldn't hurt. lol
