Homemade eggnog is SOOO much tastier than store-bought. It is light, frothy, and as sweet as you like it. Use cultured dairy for a boost of probiotics!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup of powdered sweetener, to taste (see notes for options)
  • 2 cups cultured milk (see section above for options)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
  • 4 egg whites
  • 3 ounces golden rum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat egg yolks in a large bowl until the color starts to lighten. Add the sweetener to the egg yolks and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in milk, cream, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate container whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
  3. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Serve immediately with a dusting of nutmeg. or refrigerate and serve within 3 hours. Since this recipe contains raw eggs, it will not last, even if you use cultured dairy.

Notes

  • Feel free to use your favorite sweetener in this recipe. I always use date sugar or xylitol. However, powdered white sugar is traditional.
  • If you want to make a whole batch of spiked eggnog, add the rum directly into the yolk mixture. Otherwise, it can be added directly to the glass before pouring in the eggnog.
  • Because of the health risks associated with the consumption of raw eggs, this recipe is not recommended for pregnant women, children under the age of 1 year, or anyone who may be immunocompromised.
  • The nutrition information is for a drink made with cultured dairy and xylitol.
