1/4 cup / 50g granulated allulose or powdered erythritol (1/4 cup / 40g)

1/2 cup / 120 ml heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the egg yolks and low carb sweetener in a large mixing bowl and whisk using a hand balloon whisk until pale and creamy.
Whisk in the almond milk, cream, vanilla and your chosen liquor (if using).
Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to serve, whisk the egg whites and 1 additional tbsp allulose until fluffy peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the eggnog or stir the egg whites into the base in your glasses. I added some to the top like cappuccino foam.
Top with nutmeg, cinnamon or both.
Makes 4 servings @ 140 ml each. Net carbs per serving: 1g
Tip: You can use pasteurised egg whites from a carton in case you are worried about egg safety.
For a ‘cooked’ version:
Place the eggs and low carb sweetener in a large mixing bowl and whisk using a hand balloon whisk until pale and creamy. Place to one side.
Add the almond milk, cream, vanilla and optional spices to a pan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
Slowly ladle approximately 1/2 cup warm milk mix into the egg mix. Do this bit by bit and whisk continuously with a ballon whisk until smooth. You don’t want the eggs to curdle.
Place back in the pan with the rest of the warm milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 6 – 8 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Remove from the heat and add the alcohol if using. Blitz with a hand whisk if there is any bits or skin for a super smooth eggnog.
Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Top with nutmeg, cinnamon or both.
