Keto Pumpkin Spice Eggnog

Our Keto Pumpkin Spice Eggnog is rich, creamy, and indulgent with a pumpkin hint and plenty of spices. It is sugar-free eggnog at its finest, so you can have a low sugar holiday and stick to your keto diet.

A few years back, I had tried making homemade eggnog, and it called for raw eggs. I didn't feel comfortable drinking raw eggs or giving these to my kids. So, I put my chef's hat on and got to work experimenting in the kitchen. The method I developed is fail-proof if you read the instructions carefully and are prepared in advance to strain your mixture. Also, be sure and watch the video I created for you before you begin creating your homemade sugar-free eggnog.

For the best results, don't skip the straining step. This step strains out any chunks of egg, eggshells, and whole cloves to stay out of the finished keto eggnog. Plus, straining the mixture gives you the creamiest finished result.

Three steps shown in making the keto pumpkin spice eggnog are the eggs being whisked into the sugar substitute, the eggs being tempered in and the mixture cooking on the stovetop.

Author: Tara Wright

Ingredients

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar substitute see notes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 whole cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup light rum optional, see notes
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare a straining station beside your work area by placing a deep glass bowl on the counter. Then, set a strainer on top of the bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk these together egg yolks & sugar substitute until combined. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix together the pumpkin puree, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mixing the spices into the pumpkin simply helps them distribute evenly throughout your keto eggnog.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine water, heavy cream, pumpkin puree mixture, and cloves. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat.
  • Turn off heat and temper the cream mixture into the egg-sugar mixture.
  • Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  • Stirring constantly, cook on low heat for a few minutes but do NOT allow to boil. You want to bring the mixture up to 160 degrees without cooking the eggs in the mixture. If you start seeing floating egg chunks, immediately remove from heat and strain.
  • Remove from heat, strain into the container you prepared earlier.
  • Then mix in unsweetened almond milk, light rum (see notes for substitutes), and vanilla extract.
    For the best flavor, chill 24 hours before serving. Store in your refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to three days.

Notes

Nutrition Facts
*Nutrition facts are provided as estimates only and are calculated using erythritol.
One half-cup serving contains approximately 21.7 Total Carbs, .2 g fiber, 20 g sugar alcohol, which comes to 1.5 g NET CARB.
Sugar Substitute Notes
Our favorite sugar substitutes for our keto eggnog includes BochaSweet, Lakanto's monk fruit blend, allulose, erythritol, and liquid stevia. BochaSweet has the closest taste to sugar. When using allulose, it is only about 70% as sweet as sugar, so we add liquid stevia drops until we are happy with the sweetness level.
Substitute for Almond Milk
You can use any milk alternative you would like, such as unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened macadamia nut milk. Check the nutrition facts on the container to be sure you have a low-carb milk option. Other options are to mix a half cup of water with a half-cup heavy cream or use the same strategy with full-fat coconut milk.
Substitute for Light Rum
If you want your keto eggnog to be non-alcoholic, you have a few options. You can substitute the cup of alcohol for a cup of water or any low carb milk alternative.

Substitution Guide For Keto Pumpkin Spice Eggnog

This keto holiday drink recipe is fairly flexible with the substitutes you can use. In this section, I'll detail my suggestions and update this regularly as questions come in.

Sugar Substitutes

Our favorite sugar substitutes for keto eggnog include:

  • BochaSweet
  • Lakanto's Monk Fruit Blend
  • Allulose
  • Erythritol
  • Liquid stevia drops
  • Lakanto's liquid monk fruit drops

BochaSweet has the closest taste to sugar and we often simply use this if we have it on hand. Otherwise, we like to mix two of the sweeteners above for a better full sugar flavor.

Allulose is a rare sugar and is only about 70% as sweet as sugar. So, you may need to increase the sweetness by adding liquid stevia or monk fruit drops at the end. Simply taste and adjust.

Milk Alternatives

You can use any milk alternative you would like, such as unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk (in the carton or full fat in the can), or unsweetened macadamia nut milk. Check the nutrition facts on the container to be sure you have a low-carb milk option. Other options are to mix a half cup of water with a half-cup heavy cream or use the same strategy with full-fat coconut milk.

Dairy-Free Keto Pumpkin Spice Eggnog

To make your sugar-free eggnog dairy-free, simply swap out full-fat unsweetened coconut cream for the recipe's heavy cream.

If you would like to use a milk alternative as listed above, omit the water in the recipe and use the milk alternative instead. So, in step three, you would use one cup milk alternative for the water and one cup milk alternative for the heavy cream.

Non-Alcoholic Keto Eggnog

I prefer my eggnog to be non-alcoholic. As a result, I've experimented with many different options and will share my preferences and suggestions here.

You can use water or any milk alternative we've already discussed in place of the alcohol in this recipe. You can also omit the alcohol and not use anything additional.

Track Your Nutrition & Health Data with cronometer.com

Another option, which is my husband's favorite, is to mix a half cup of heavy whipping cream and a half cup of water and use this in place of the alcohol.

Now for my favorite option. I like to use full-fat coconut milk as a substitute because it lends another layer of flavor and sweetness. However, it does increase the carb count by .3 net carbs per serving. But, it also increases the fats to 15.4 g per serving.
