Of course eggnog can be made into ice cream! The ingredients in eggnog all lend themselves well to ice cream, so making this recipe for the holidays was a no-brainer. So if you’re already tired of my candy cane chocolate fudge crackle ice cream recipe (I don’t know how that could be possible, but you never know...), give this keto eggnog ice cream a try!
Keto Eggnog Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅓ cup xylitol
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ teaspoon xanthum gum
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 oz bourbon
- 1 oz dark or spiced rum (*swap the bourbon and rum for 1/2 teaspoon rum or brandy extract to make it alcohol-free)
- ½ nutmeg seed
Directions:
Beat eggs with cream of tartar with a mixer until frothy. Add xylitol a little at a time until mixture thickens.
Add all remaining ingredients and mix well, but don’t overdo it or else the cream will start to form a frothy layer on top.
Chill ice cream mixture for at least 1 hour.
Add chilled mix to your ice cream maker (*I use the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.) and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your model.If you like a soft-serve consistency, you’ll be able to serve it as soon as it’s done in the ice cream maker. If you want a “scooping” texture, let it set in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with a fresh grating of nutmeg on top.
Try this eggnog ice cream recipe in a float using a sugar free cola or root beer for a festive twist on a classic!
