In a large saucepan over medium heat, pour the almond milk and heavy cream and whisk to combine.
Allow it to heat until it is just starting to steam. Do not boil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the raw eggs and granulated sweetener until light and fluffy.
Pour one cup of the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the eggs, whisking constantly.
Transfer the egg mixture into the pan with the remaining milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken.
Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla and nutmeg.
Cool this creamy keto eggnog completely and serve with a splash of rum if desired.
Notes
Cook over medium-low heat: The eggnog will curdle if the temperature gets too high. Likewise, if the temperature is too low, the eggnog may be too thin and watery. Avoid this by keeping a careful eye on the temperature!
Use whole milk: If you don't have any almond milk on hand, whole milk or even any low-carb milk are good substitutes and will make this homemade sugar-free eggnog even creamier!
