Title: Low Carb Egg Nog for the holidays by Rena
Post by: Doug Varrieur on December 23, 2011, 08:24:21 AM

FTS Eggnog

4 egg yolks, beaten
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup Xylitol
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2-4 tablespoons rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large saucepan, cook and stir egg yolks, milk, and Xylitol on medium heat until a metal spoon comes out coated. Remove from heat and place saucepan in a sink or bowl of ice water. Stir for 2 minutes. Remove and stir in whipping cream, rum, and vanilla. Mix well and place in a covered container for 4 to 24 hours. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving. Makes 7 servings.

Approximately 1.6 carbs per serving -- I used Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk which is 0 carbs. I also used spiced rum, but I suppose you could use a sugar-free rum syrup, which would make it even more sweet.

Feeling good Umpa!  Thanks for asking!  Started at the gym this morning; starting light and going from there.  No problems since then and just trying not to stress about so much stuff!

Thanks for posting this, Doug.

I used spiced Captain Morgan rum in mine, which made it really good. I might make more for NYE! :)
