Sugar Free Keto Eggnog
Ingredients
- 13.5 ounce canned coconut milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Better than Sugar Confectioners
or Swerve confectioners
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp dark rum
- sprinkle of nutmeg to serve
Directions
- 1
Pour the coconut milk, heavy cream and water into a large saucepan, add the cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Simmer and continually stir for 5 minutes. If you are using an electric stove top you may need to move your pan on and off the heat to keep it at a simmer but to keep it from spilling over. Turn off heat.
- 2
In a large glass bowl, add the egg yolks and confectioners sweetener. Whisk together.
- 3
Add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the eggs to temper them. Whisk together and continue to add about half of the cream mixture to the tempered eggs a little at a time. Remove cinnamon stick from saucepan. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the hot cream, whisking in slowly over low heat, in the saucepan, until completely smooth.
- 4
Continue to stir the mixture over low heat for about 5-8 minutes or until the temperature reaches 160 degrees F and coats the back of a spoon.
- 5
Remove from the heat and stir in rum and vanilla extract. Stir together until smooth. Alternately you can also place the mixture in a blender to completely combine. Be careful as it will be hot so the cover should be slightly open to allow steam out while blending.
- 6
Taste and adjust sweetener if needed, then chill for about 1-2 hours.
- 7
To serve, pour into glasses and sprinkle some ground nutmeg over the top.
- 8
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. If it becomes too thick for your liking, simply whisk in some unsweetened nut milk of choice or water to thin it out a bit.
