Servings: 8 people
Calories: 304kcal
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 3 cups organic whole milk OR So Delicious Vanilla Unsweetened Cashew Milk
- 1 cup heavy cream OR full fat canned coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons Power Creamer
- 4 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5-10 drops Organic Liquid Stevia
Instructions
- Add egg yolks to a large bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- Add milk, heavy cream, power creamer, collagen, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to a medium saucepan and bring just to a boil, whisking every so often.
- Remove from heat and gradually add the hot milk mixture into the eggs, just a little at a time to ensure your eggs don't cook.
- Return combined mixture to the saucepan, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until your mixture reaches 160°F/70°C. Remove from the heat, remove cinnamon sticks and cloves, and pour into a large pitcher. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. The eggnog will continue to thicken, so be sure to give it a good stir before serving.
- When ready to serve, taste for sweetness and add desired amount of organic liquid Stevia drops (I recommend somewhere between 5-10 drops). You can garnish each glass with fresh nutmeg, if desired.
- OPTIONAL: Add a shot of bourbon or dark rum to each glass to make this adult eggnog ;)
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir again before serving.
