Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 4 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia blend)
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Rum extract (optional)
- 0 to taste Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Save the egg whites for another recipe (they won’t be used in this one).
Step 2
Whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth and slightly pale. Gradually add the granulated sugar substitute, whisking until it is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to steam but does not boil.
Step 4
Slowly temper the egg mixture by adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly. Repeat this process until about half of the milk mixture has been incorporated into the egg yolks.
Step 5
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk. Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and rum extract (if using). Let the eggnog cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Step 7
Once chilled, give the eggnog a good stir. Pour into glasses, sprinkle with ground nutmeg, and serve. Enjoy responsibly as part of your holiday celebrations!
