    How to make eggnog keto and sugar free

    Eggnog is pretty easy to convert to sugar free because the only thing that is really on the naughty list is the sugar!  If you have a traditional eggnog recipe that your family loves, simply replace the sugar with a sugar free sweetener and you will be well on your way to sugar free eggnog.

    If you want to go full keto egg nog, then we have to do a little more replacing but it is still super simple.  Most eggnog recipes contain milk, so instead of regular cows milk, we replace that with unsweetened almond milk.

    Some people are turned off by the thickness of traditional eggnog with milk but this almond milk version is thinner so you may like this version even better!

    Sugar free and keto eggnog recipe tips:

    • Be sure to follow the directions and temper the egg yolks with the heated almond milk.  Skipping this step will leave you with scrambled eggs!
    • Top with additional homemade keto whipped cream and cinnamon for an even more festive drink!
    • Use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks with the sweetener to give your wrist a break.

    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
    • pinch of salt
    • ground cinnamon-garnish

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and sweetener together, using your hand mixer or whisk, mix until light and creamy. About 3 minutes.
    • In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, almond milk, nutmeg and salt. Stir continuously until mixture reaches simmer. Reduce heat to low.
    • Add a big spoonful of the hot almond milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking vigorously. Repeat this process with all of the almond milk mixture to temper the egg yolks.
    • Once all of the the almond milk has been added to the egg yolks, pour the mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.

      Have you tried using dehydrated egg yolks? I just bought a bag with this recipe in mind.

      Made this as written except I used my kitchen aid stand mixer. It worked awesome! I used the whisk attachment and kept it going as I tempered the eggs. It was a bit foamy but that settles down pretty quickly. My husband loved it!!
