Low Carb Eggnog Latte

Not only is this Keto eggnog latte a nice way to treat yourself to some comfort and nostalgia, but it’s good for your diet too. Similar to butter coffee, this latte is high in Keto fats without any added sugar and little to no carbs. Make and drink the eggnog latte with your low-carb breakfast to start the morning right, or have it after a workout with lunch. The fats will give you slow-burning energy and a little coffee may give you an extra boost. The Keto eggnog recipe used in this latte is Carb Manager’s Virgin Eggnog. Make the virgin eggnog in a large batch and simply add some to your coffee before assembling the rest of the latte. Since the calories can be quite high when you choose full fat, enjoy this eggnog latte on occasion as opposed to daily.

Make the latte less rich

If you like a high-fat Keto diet, but you find this latte a little too rich for your tastes, tone down the heavy cream used. Instead of frothing and pouring heavy cream into the latte, substitute it with a milk alternative with less fat. Almond milk, coconut milk, and oat milk are all good choices. Avoid whole or skim milk from animals.

Tips for tempering

If you’ve never tempered eggs before, it’s important to go slow and steady. Pouring hot liquid slowly in a steady stream while the eggs are constantly whisked is the key to tempering successfully. You’ll know you haven’t tempered the eggs properly if they begin to scramble. You’ll smell and see the cooked eggs, which means you’ll need to start the recipe over.

Please note, consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have increased susceptibility (i.e., elderly, children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).
