Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Rum or bourbon (optional)
- 0 optional Whipped cream, for garnish
- 0 optional Extra ground nutmeg, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar substitute until the mixture becomes thick and light yellow in color.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set the heat to medium-low and stir frequently until the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually temper the egg yolks by slowly adding a ladle of the hot milk mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
Step 4
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the eggnog thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of the spoon but should not boil.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If using, add rum or bourbon to the mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the eggnog to a bowl or pitcher and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Step 7
Before serving, stir the eggnog well. Pour into glasses, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg, and enjoy!
