Healthy Homemade EGGNOG!

4 egg yolks

3 cups of almond milk, coconut milk, or a combination

(I like 2 cups almond milk & 1 cup full fat coconut millk)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or can use another safe sweetener)

*I acutally added about a TBS more maple syrup to make it a touch sweeter. You can taste test it before you add the eggs to decide how sweet you want it. :)

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside.

Combine almond/coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring pretty consistently. Reduce heat to low.  Add the hot liquid to the egg yolks a little bit at a time to temper the eggs, whisking continuously, until you've added about 1 cup of the hot mixture to the yolks.  Then pour the egg mixture into the pot.

Increase heat to medium.  Whisk while simmering for 4-5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Serve hot immediately OR pour into a covered container and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.  Mmmmm...Let me know if you try it!
