Ingredients
Eggnog Base
6 egg yolks½ cup Copra’s Coconut Nectar
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups oat milk
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup rum or brandy (optional)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Whipped Egg White
6 egg whites (leftover from egg yolks)
1 tbsp Copra’s Coconut Nectar
Instructions
Step 1. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add the Copra’s Coconut Nectar while whisking, until fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Step 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, oat milk, and ground nutmeg. Heat over medium heat until steaming, but do not bring it to a boil. Once steaming, remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3. Gradually pour the heated milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once combined and smooth, pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
Step 4. Heat the eggnog base over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon). Do not let it boil. Once thickened, remove from heat.
Step 5. Strain the eggnog mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps. Stir in the vanilla extract and, if desired, add rum or brandy. Set aside.
Step 6. To make the whipped egg whites, use a stand mixer to whisk the egg whites until they become fluffy and form soft peaks. While whisking, gradually add Copra’s Coconut Nectar for a touch of sweetness. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
Step 7. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the eggnog mixture until well combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors develop and the texture thicken.
Step 8. Serve chilled, and enjoy your Eggnog with Coconut Nectar! Garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg and cinnamon stick, if desired.
