Scroll to the bottom of the blog post for exact measurements, and to see nutritional information in recipe card.
Simple Ingredients needed
heavy cream
water
cinnamon stick
egg yolks
Better than Sugar Confectioners or Swerve confectioners
dark rum (Taste and adjust if you'd like more) or use a little rum extract
Cream Pie
Easy Keto Pie Crust baked, cooled (9-inch pie plate)
cream cheese
Optional to Serve
Sugar Free whipped cream to decorate pie
Sprinkle of nutmeg or even pumpkin pie spice
Directions for Sugar Free Eggnog
Pour the coconut milk, heavy cream and water into a large or medium saucepan, add the cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat and continually stir for 5 minutes. If you are using an electric stove top you may need to move your pan on and off the heat to keep it at a simmer but to keep it from spilling over. Turn off heat.
In a large bowl, add the egg yolks and confectioners sweetener. Whisk the egg mixture together.
Add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the eggs to temper them. Whisk together and continue to add about half of the cream mixture to the tempered eggs a little at a time. Remove cinnamon stick from saucepan.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the hot cream, whisking in slowly over low heat, in the saucepan, until completely smooth.
Continue to stir the mixture over low heat for about 5-8 minutes or until the temperature reaches 160 degrees F and coats the back of a spoon. Sprinkle gelatin over mixture and whisk constantly until smooth, no lumps.
Remove from the heat and stir in rum and vanilla extract. Stir together until smooth. (Alternately you can also place the mixture in a blender or food processor to completely combine. Be careful as it will be hot so the cover should be slightly open to allow steam out while blending.)
Taste and adjust sweetener and rum if needed, then set aside.
How to Prepare Cream Pie
Place the cream cheese and vanilla stevia in a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetener if needed. Set aside.
Once your eggnog is ready, slowly add it to the cream cheese in the mixer and blend on low speed until incorporated and smooth.
Pour eggnog cream cheese mixture into prepared cooled crust. Place plastic wrap right over the cream mixture so it doesn't form a skin on top. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Optional to serve
- Sugar-free Whipped Cream and sprinkle of nutmeg
