“Creamy, high in fat and tastes like Christmas! This is my lovely keto eggnog that you can whip up while putting up your tree this year. Or, sip while opening your gifts! If you find the fat content too high, you could use less cream and more unsweetened almond milk, but I love it indulgent as shown here. Please pay special attention to temperature control as no one wants to drink scrambled eggs. This recipe makes two, but bear in mind that they are incredibly rich, so you may even stretch it to three smaller servings. As like all the recipes on this blog, you can use the plug-in facility on the recipe below to increase the servings, which will automatically adjust the recipe’s ingredient yield.” – Monya

More on Keto Eggnog…
Egg nog is a beloved holiday beverage, rich and creamy, typically enjoyed during festive gatherings. However, for individuals following a ketogenic diet, traditional egg nog can be off-limits due to its high sugar content. Thankfully, here is a delicious alternative that adheres to the principles of a keto lifestyle.

This is a low-carb, high-fat variation of the classic beverage. The recipe replaces sugar with a natural sweetener (erythritol), allowing you to indulge in the festive spirit without derailing your dietary goals. Additionally, the use of full-fat dairy products and eggs provides the necessary healthy fats and proteins to keep you satiated.
With its rich and creamy texture and delightful flavours, it proves that you can have your egg nog and drink it too, even while following a keto lifestyle.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Keto Eggnog
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
For the keto eggnog
- 200 g (7 oz) double cream
- 100 g (3.5 oz) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- 50 g (1.8 oz) powdered erythritol, confectioners'
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tots Brandy
For the sweetened whipped cream
- 80 g (2.9 oz) double cream
- 1 TB powdered erythritol, confectioners'
- ground cinnamon, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Place the double cream and almond milk in a pan. Add the vanilla essence, ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Bring to a light simmer, but do not allow to boil.
- In the meantime, whisk the egg yolks and sweetener together in a bowl.
- Slowly drizzle the warm cream into the bowl of eggs, whisking continuously as you do so. This will temper the eggs.
- Return the whole lot into the pan and keep on a moderately low heat to safely cook the eggs without scrambling them. The best way to do this is to monitor the temperature using a probe in the mixture - it should not rise above 70°C (160°F). Whisk continuously (I advise using a silicon whisk to prevent scratching your lovely non stick pan). Maintain this temperature for 8-10 minutes.
- Strain the mixture into a bowl. There should be no 'bits' of egg caught in the strainer. If there is, its likely your mixture was too hot and you cooked parts of the egg. In that case (I am sorry to say), but your batch is ruined and will taste eggy. This is the same procedure one uses when making an ice-cream base - temperature control is important and there is little room for error.
- If you like your eggnog warm, add the Brandy and stir well before dividing between two cups. I like mine chilled, so I pop my bowl in the fridge before serving.
- Top with sweetened whipped cream, which can be made by simply using an electric hand mixer to whip the double cream and sweetener together until soft peaks form. Spoon over the eggnog and scatter over a pinch of ground cinnamon before enjoying.
