This quick and easy homemade low carb eggnog recipe is rich and creamy with warm spices to comfort you from the inside out.
You would never believe this is a gluten free, low carb, sugar free, and keto friendly eggnog, it is so, so good!
I absolutely LOVE eggnog and it always disappoints me it’s not around more than a few weeks a year. A couple weeks before Thanksgiving, I was on the search for eggnog and was so dismayed it was still unavailable. I figured it would be better to make my own anyways and I couldn’t wait to stop my obsessive cravings.
It was amazing how yummy it turned out. I was licking my fingers, the bowls, the spoons, the beaters, I couldn’t wait to drink it all up!
The first batch didn’t last long, as it is just as good adding in your coffee and tea as it is drinking it up all by itself.
How to make Quick and Easy Homemade Low Carb Eggnog
Separate the eggs. Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Slowly add the Swerve and continue to whip until stiff peaks form, set aside.
Put the milk in a saucepan to heat, bring to just under a boil.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or in a large bowl with a mixer, whip the egg yolk until they are light and creamy, then slowly incorporate the erythritol, spices, and salt while continuing to whip. While still whipping, very slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture, being careful not to curdle the eggs. Continue to whip until the mixture has cooled, about 5 minutes.
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
Combine the vanilla and whipped cream into the egg mixture.
Garnish with additional grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.
Adding alcohol is optional. Serve with your favorite brandy, bourbon, or rum.
Homemade low carb eggnog must be refrigerated and will keep for up to 3 days.
