Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened nut milk (macadamia or almond)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1-2 tablespoons xylitol, allulose, or erythritol
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine nut milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to infuse, then remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sweetener until light, fluffy, and the sweetener has mostly dissolved.
  3. Gradually add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium/low heat for 8-10 minutes until it reaches 160°F/70°C and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  5. Remove from heat, sieve into a medium mixing bowl, and stir in vanilla and liquor to taste.
  6. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Stir before serving and adjust consistency with additional nut milk if needed.
