Ingredients
 

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 cans coconut milk canned and full fat
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg freshly grated (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • almond milk optional (to thin out the egg nog)
  • rum optional

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat yolks for a couple minutes. Gradually add coconut sugar - pausing in between to let the sugar dissolve. Set aside for now.
  • In a saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a low simmer and then add the nutmeg and cinnamon.
  • Now it’s time to temper the eggs. Turn your stand mixer on low and then (very) slowly add a spoonful of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks. Repeat until you have about a cup of milk in your mixer.
  • Once the eggs have been tempered, add them to the saucepan and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and allow the egg nog to cool down.
  • Add rum if you want to, then put the egg nog in the fridge to chill (the longer you let it chill, the thicker it will become).
  • When you take the egg nog out of the fridge, add almond milk to thin it out according to taste.
  • Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon on top before serving.

Notes

I think this drink is best served cold :)
