Egg nog:- the classic winter drink made from whipped eggs, milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. And of course, you can also give it a little alcoholic kick! Making a low carb egg nog only required a few changes from the traditional recipe: unsweetened almond milk instead of regular milk, and a low carb sweetener instead of sugar.

Please note that this recipe contains raw eggs. I've seen some variations where the egg yolks are cooked with the milk to form a custard base for the drink, which reduces the potential hazard from raw eggs. But this version is raw, so please be aware of the risks.

How to Make a Low Carb Egg Nog

To make the drink, whisk some egg yolks in a stand mixer until they start to lighten in color. Add in heavy cream, unsweetened almond milk, alcohol (eg rum, brandy or bourbon), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. Beat a few times to combine the ingredients.

Test for sweetness, adding a little liquid sweetener at a time, stirring, then taste testing – everyone has different preferences. For the sweetener you could use liquid stevia or make your own low carb simple syrup!

In a separate stand mixer bowl (or, like me, use a regular bowl with a hand mixer), whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.

Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Transfer it to a jug, cover, and leave in the fridge overnight.

When you're ready to serve, stir well, then divide the recipe between glasses. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over the drink and enjoy!
