Clean Eating Eggnog
Using almond milk in this recipe keeps the calories really low (skim milk would do the same) but please feel free to use whatever milk excites you, they will all work!
Calories: 319kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk or any milk you fancy
- 2 eggs I like organic, pastured eggs
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend for 2 minutes (you want the mixture to be light and airy).
- Pour into a small saucepan and heat over a low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often (you do not want this to boil or it will scramble!). The goal is for the eggnog to reach 160 F, but if you do not have a thermometer cooking over a low heat for 15 minutes should do the job.
- Allow the eggnog to cool a bit and then pour into a mason jar (or just leave it in the pot) and pop in in the fridge overnight or long enough to chill. The eggnog will thicken up while in the fridge.
- You can enjoy your eggnog as is, over ice, with a shot of your favorite booze, or stirred into a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy!
