Ingredients
Units
Scale

- 1/3 cup of sweetener, to taste (see notes)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 egg whites
- 3 ounces golden rum (optional)
Instructions
- Beat egg yolks in a large bowl until the color starts to lighten.
- Add the sweetener into the egg yolks and stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir in milk, cream, and nutmeg.
- In a separate container whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve within 3 hours.
Notes
- Feel free to use your favorite sweetener in this recipe. I always use date sugar
because I’m like that… However, powdered white sugar is sweeter and will dissolve better.
- Why not make probiotic eggnog? See the section above for details.
- If you want to make a whole batch of spiked eggnog, add the rum directly into the yolk mixture. Otherwise, leave it out so that your guests can add it to their drinks.
- 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.
