I had to come up with a Keto Eggnog Recipe because I love eggnog, and so far, I've been working on a few different versions.
I love eggnog! There, I said it!
When I started living the keto lifestyle, I didn't give much thought to the holidays.
While I'm not one to consider all the things missing out on, eggnog was one of the first things that popped into my mind when I thought about the foods I would need to avoid during the holiday season.
After I had spent some time thinking about it and reading the labels on every brand of eggnog at Walmart, I decided to try my hand at making my homemade keto eggnog.
I won't lie, I am an eggnog snob, and I have tasted lots of different brands and homemade versions over the year.
My favorite brand is Southern Comfort Eggnog, and I have never tasted homemade eggnog that I enjoyed. That's why I decided not to get excited about this little experiment.
I plan to make five different eggnog recipes, and this was my first attempt.
I tasted this recipe immediately after making it, and I wasn't very impressed. Like many eggnogs I have tried in the past, it was bland and didn't taste like my favorite brand.
The next day after it sat in the fridge overnight, I decided to try it.
OMG! It was EGGNOG!
Real yummy eggnog with NO sugar!
What what?!?!
Keto Eggnog Recipe:
I was thrilled, but I still plan to make the other recipes because I want to work on this one until I perfect it.
Once I've made them all, I will check back and let you know which keto eggnog is my favorite, so stay tuned!
So remember, you can try it the first day but leaving it overnight is worth the wait!
This is one of those wonderful high-fat, low-protein recipes.
I don't know about you, but I struggle to get enough fat without going over protein.
Keto Eggnog Ingredients:
2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 Cup So Delicious, Coconut Milk, Unsweetened
4 Large Eggs
48 drops liquid Stevia or the small scooper of Powdered Stevia Extract or 4 tablespoon Stevia in the Raw (add carbs)
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
Keto Eggnog Directions:
Mix all items in a blender and blend for 2 minutes.
Refrigerate immediately and let sit overnight for the best taste.
You can mix this in a blender, I love my Ninja Blender, or you can mix it with a Kitchen Aid Mixer.
I considered whipping the heavy cream first and combining everything else, but I decided not to.
I may try that with the following recipe.

Does anyone else love eggnog as much as I do?
If you make this recipe, I would love to hear how you change it up to make it your own or, if you don't change it, how you like it.

Dana says
Use whole eggs!! I just do the milk, (cream sounds good so I might add it!), whole eggs, vanilla, and I've used truvia in the past but will be trying it with ethyrithol this year!
ketosizeme says
Hey, Dana thank you for stopping by. This recipe does call for whole eggs. 🙂 Maybe it was a bit confusing because it said large white eggs. I will update that now. Sounds like you love eggnog as much as we do.
Diane says
I was a little squimish about raw eggs so we used egg beaters. It was good but I was the only one drinking it and was afraid it might go bad before I could finish it. So I poured what was left into popsicle molds and now I have ketogenic eggnog ice-cream! It's yummy! Thank you!
Angella H. says
Is the stevia the powdered or the liquid for this quantity?
ketosizeme says
It would be 48 drops of liquid Stevia and for the powdered version you would have to use the tiny scooper that comes in the package but I'm not sure how man scoops it would be. I would start with one and just add more to your taste.
Dana says
So I am also an eggnog snob. I personally only like Bordon Eggnog. Bordon makes two different ones with the only difference being the picture on the front of the container (a pain I know). I forget each year which one I like and have to buy both to figure it out. The one I love just coats your throat to perfection as it goes down. Of course we move a lot with the military and I am unable to get Bordon Eggnog most years :/
I look forward to trying your recipes 🙂 I hope one tastes as good as Bordons!
Rosslyn says
Did you pasteurize the eggs first or no? Is it okay to eat unpasteurized eggs? I never have.
ketosizeme says
I didn't. I don't use pasteurized eggs but you could always buy pasteurized eggs if you feel more comfortable using them for these recipes.
Kait says
I made a non-dairy variation of this by using 3 cups coconut milk and 2TBSP coconut oil instead of the 2 cups of cream and 1 cup of coconut milk above. I warmed the coconut oil just until melted, mixed thoroughly into the coconut milk, then continued with your original recipe.
Carol says
Thank you for this recipe!!!I just saw that eggnog was already out in stores for the season. I died a little bit when I saw the amount of carbs. We am going to try this one. I love it in my coffee.
Sandra says
I'm sorry, but am confused. Do you use both the liquid and powder stevia? Thank you for the post. I love eggnog and want to make it for thanksgiving with eggs from my chickens
Sandra says
Apologizes, I reread instructions and it is clear to me. Happy thanksgiving!
cindy says
i am an eggnog fangirl too! i like to separate the egg yolk from the whites, blend everything except the whites, whip the egg whites till stiff then fold into the nog for a frothier fuller experience. nutmeg ground on top, of course! i never tried whipping the cream first. might be a little too thick, but also could be fun! esp if you use this to top coffee w a little rum or keto kahlua!
