Holiday Eggnog

Some people love eggnog and others hate it.  Personally, I'm a fan, but I cannot drink dairy, let alone a whole glass' worth!  So, of course, I came up with a delicious recipe that's Paleo which means it avoids refined sugars and dairy.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Eggnog

  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk
  • 2 large cans of coconut cream
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 8 drops nutmeg essential oil (get it here)

Heat the milk, cream, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a separate saucepan until smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture coats a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture. Let cool 30 minutes.

Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher or crock pot and cover.  Best served warm. Top with the eggnog and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Optional, add brandy to taste for an adult beverage
