Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 4 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Rum extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened almond milk, heavy cream, and granulated erythritol. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to steam but does not boil, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly add half a cup of the hot almond milk mixture into the whisked eggs, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and avoid scrambling.

Step 4

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining almond milk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and optional rum extract.

Step 7

Allow the eggnog to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Step 8

Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of additional nutmeg or a cinnamon stick.

Step 9

Serve cold and enjoy your diabetic-friendly eggnog!
