Sugar Free Eggnog (Boiled Custard)

No need to avoid eggnog this Christmas season just because you are avoiding sugar! I LOVE eggnog, or as we call it in the south, boiled custard. This recipe is easy to make and will even have the most enthusiastic eggnog connoisseur asking for the recipe! Staying low carb during the holidays is not always easy but it is totally possible! This yummy nog is sugar free and full of flavor!

Ingredients

3 Cups Heavy Cream

2 Cups Whole Milk

1 Cup Monkfruit Sweetener

6 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/8 tsp Clove

Here’s What you Do

In a large mixing bowl mix together the eggs, monkfruit sweetener & vanilla. Mix well and set aside.

In a double boiler (I don't have one so I put my pot on top of another pot filled with water to boil underneath).

In the double boiler mix together the heavy cream, milk, and spices. Stir continually until the mixture comes to a simmer NOT A BOIL.

Slowly integrate the warm mixture into the bowl with the egg mixture. Not too quickly because we don’t want the eggs to cook and clump.

Once the egg mixture is warm pour it all into the double boiler and continue stirring until the mixture coats the spoon.

Set mixture aside to cool on the counter top.

Once cool put it into a container and chill for a few hours in the fridge.

Now serve with a little nutmeg sprinkled on top or serve with a bit of bourbon.
