Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated allulose
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: Rum, brandy, or bourbon
Directions
Whisk allulose and egg yolks with a stand or hand mixer until light and creamy.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and Simply Desserts Vanilla Pudding Mix.
Stir often until the mixture reaches a bare simmer.
Add a spoonful of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking vigorously.
Repeat this process, adding one spoonful at a time, to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture.
Whisk constantly over heat for a few minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Pour the eggnog into a pitcher or container and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled; the eggnog will thicken as it cools.
For a thinner, completely smooth consistency, blend the chilled eggnog with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon and fresh whipped cream, adding your choice of rum, brandy, or bourbon upon serving, if desired.
Store homemade eggnog in the refrigerator for up to one week.
