Homemade Skinny Eggnog

Homemade Skinny Eggnog

1. 3 cups almond coconut milk, unsweetened

2. 1 vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract

3. 2 large eggs or 3 egg whites

4. 3 tbsp. powdered stevia or Treleafia

5. 1 tsp cornstarch

6. freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish

Directions:

Heat 2-1/2 cups almond milk in a medium saucepan.

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds; add the seeds and pod to the saucepan and simmer over medium heat.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, powdered stevia and cornstarch until it turns light yellow.

Temper the eggs by gradually pouring the hot milk mixture, about 1 cup at a time, into the egg mixture, whisking constantly (this is important, otherwise you’ll make scrambled eggs). Pour the mixture back into the pan. Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggnog begins to thicken, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining 1/2 cup milk to stop the cooking. Remove the vanilla pod, let it cool and transfer to a pitcher, chill until ready to serve.
