Christmas is coming, and I've been dreading going through it without all the normal yummy things we eat and drink...the main thing being eggnog!!! I love eggnog, and the thought of not having it for a Christmas is truly depressing, so I knew I had to fix this problem, though I was really skeptical of it turning out anything like eggnog, but miraculously and thankfully, it did!! So here you go, I hope it works for you too, feel free to tweak it to your taste :)
Eggnog
2 1/2 cups Almond Milk
1/4 - 1/3 cup Truvia
3 egg Yolks
4oz Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Rum Flavor
Dash of Salt
In a double broiler, put 1 cup almond milk, egg yolks and truvia, whisk well, and heat till steaming, mixing the whole time so the eggs won't lump. Put the cream cheese in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the cheese...it will all clump around the beaters...while beating on low, slowly pour in a little bit of the heated milk and eggs, just enough to make the cheese come off the beaters, and whip in the bowl, beat till the mixture is smooth, then slowly pour in more milk mixture, till you can pour it all in without having clumps in the cream cheese. I figure if the cheese insists on being clumpy anyway, dump it in a blender and get it smooth that way :) after all the hot milk and eggs are blended, whisk in the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate till it's nice and cold! My brother in law said if he hadn't watch me make it, he wouldn't have known it was homemade :)
