Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened nut milk (macadamia or almond)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated, plus more for garnish)
  • 3/4 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon xylitol (allulose or erythritol)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons dark rum or bourbon (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, simmer nut milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg for 8-10 minutes to infuse flavors. Remove from heat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sweetener until light, fluffy, and well mixed.
  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 and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  5. Remove from heat, sieve into a mixing bowl, and stir in vanilla and liquor of choice.
  6. Cover and refrigerate to chill. Stir before serving and adjust consistency with nut milk if needed.
