Ingredients:
- 2 cups of vanilla almond milk
- 1 15 oz can of regular coconut milk
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- ¼ tsp of nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 3 organic egg yolks
- ⅓ cup of maple syrup
- 1 scoop of Renewed Health’s Collagen
Optional: cinnamon sticks for serving
Instructions:
- Add almond milk, coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves to a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it simmers.
- While the milk heats up, place egg yolks, maple syrup and collagen in a blender and blend on low-medium speed for about 30 seconds until it is light and fluffy.
- Once the milk has started to simmer, turn the blender on low and slowly add the milk mixture a little at a time into the blender. It is very important to do this part slowly to avoid curdling!
- Add eggnog mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium low heat for about 10-15 minutes, whisking constantly until it thickens.
- Remove from heat and let eggnog cool to room temperature. Transfer it to a jar, cover and refrigerate overnight or for a few hours until chilled.
- Serve with some cinnamon on top and cinnamon sticks if desired and enjoy!
