Instructions
Eggnog
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat add almond milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, stevia and salt. Whisk together and continue to stir frequently while mixture comes to simmer.
- While mixture is warming separate an egg yolk from egg white into small bowl. Discard white and whisk egg yolk till smooth.
- When milk mixture is warmed and beginning to come to slow boil, turn down to low. Temper egg by spooning 1 spoonful of milk onto yolk while whisking. Repeat process a few more times by adding a spoonful while wisking. Then add yolk to milk and continuously whisk. Bring back to a simmer.
- Mixture will still be thin. Remove from heat and transfer to a mason jar or other heat safe container to cool till thickened or use in latte right away.
- Eggnog will thicken slightly once cooled.
