Best Keto Eggnog

This eggnog version is so warm and rich. I made it light on the spices so feel free to amp it up! It is very easy to make and dark liquors do not have carbs or any added sugars so they are ok to enjoy on the Keto diet, but adding bourbon is optional. We used freshly grated nutmeg, which is so much better than the pre-ground version.

What alcohol goes into eggnog?

Eggnog is traditionally made with bourbon or rum. Make sure to choose plain liquor (no flavored or spiced rums). However, you may include other light or dark spirits depending on your tastes and alcohol tolerance. If you like the subtle flavors of rum, use rum flavored extract instead of alcohol for a virgin recipe.

Flavoring a basic eggnog recipe

Remember, this is a simple Keto eggnog recipe that can be modified or added to. If you want to make the eggnog sweeter, add liquid stevia drops. You can add other spices or integrate any traditional family recipes. Other low-carb non-dairy milk includes coconut, soy, and oat milk.

Is this recipe vegan?

If you need this to be dairy-free replace the heavy cream with equal parts coconut milk or almond milk.
