Every year around the holidays, I start to look forward to a nice cup of creamy, rich egg nog! This year I set out to make a healthier version and I have to say, it is absolutely wonderful! There are so many ways to make egg nog, but the key elements are of course eggs and nutmeg. I also like to add a cinnamon stick in mine giving it that little special flavor that has you going back for another sip. So this holiday season, why not try a cup of this wonderful egg nog, it really is quite delicious. Happy Holidays to you all!

Halle - How much water? It's not in the ingredient list. Thanks
I would go with the full fat coconut milk Anne, it is less processed and better for you. That being said, if you choose to use light coconut milk, I am sure it would work out fine. I would serve it chilled before dinner, sort of like an appetizer, but you could serve it anytime. Hope you and your family enjoy it.
I'm going to make this for our family gathering. We have never had this before. When do you serve it?

Do you think it wou,d work with light coconut milk? If so what would the calori be?
I love egg nog, so I'm looking forward to trying this.
You make this look easy -- I'll see if I have time to squeeze it in this weekend!
It took me less then 5 minutes to whip up a batch! Super easy!
