Healthy Eggnog Latte
Eggnog and healthy do not sound like words that go together, but I make it happen in this recipe!
Equipment
- Glass bowl
- saucepan
- 2 coffee mugs
- whisk
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 4 shots espresso
- 1 cups heavy cream or coconut cream to make this healthy I use raw cream but you could also use coconut cream.
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt
- sprinkle cinnamon
Instructions
- whisk egg yolks and sugar in a glass bowl until creamy.
- in a saucepan over medium heat whisk the milk, cream, salt and nutmeg until it comes to a simmer.
- scoop a little bit of warm milk over the egg and sugar mixture. Keep doing this until all the milk is combined with the egg/sugar (tempering the eggs like this prevents them from scrambling).
- add mixture back to the saucepan over low-medium heat and mix continuously for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes a little more thick (remove from heat the second the milk starts to thicken - not a second longer or the eggs will scramble).
- Remove the eggnog from heating element and add vanilla extract stirring to combine.
- Make espresso using whatever method you have availavle to you (concentrate, Nesspresso, percolator).
- add egg nog to your mugs and top with espresso.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon on top and enjoy!
