Spiced Eggnog

I used this recipe as part of my keto eggnog cheesecake, but it’s perfectly delicious on it’s own. Whip up a batch of this fresh keto eggnog and add a splash of rum or bourbon for some extra holiday cheer.

As a kid, I would buy cartons of this stuff from the store and drink myself sick with it. Now as an adult, with much more discerning tastes, the carton stuff is still the best! But… it’s full of sugar, so that won’t do. Turns out making your own is actually quite simple. Eggnog is essentially milk and eggs, so it’s an easy drink to prepare for your holiday get togethers. Admittedly I’m not much of an alcohol drinker but Eggnog is a prime holiday drink to spike. What is merrier than a room full of boozed up people during the holidays (okay don’t answer that)?!

The trick to a smooth eggnog is to slowly temper your egg yolks into your warmed cream. This prevents the eggs from cooking and making the drink clumpy. If it does clump up, have no fear, you can simply strain the nog through a sieve to remove any that form. So it’s pretty much fool proof.

…you’ll have a very merry Christmas, especially with a splash of rum or bourbon to help you on your way.

You can use the leftover egg whites to whip into a topping for the drink, or you can simply leave it out, but the presentation is beautiful. Sprinkle the top with a little nutmeg and you’ll have a very merry Christmas, especially with a splash of rum or bourbon to help you on your way.
