Still successfully on the Paleo train, despite all the festive eating going on this season? If so, you’re amazing! But I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to give up ALL the traditional Christmas delights. Take egg nog, for example…
If you’re really jonesing for an eggnog, here’s a Paleo recipe for one which you can make with coconut milk.
Paleo Egg Nog
8 egg yolks
4 cups coconut milk
8 tablespoons dark rum (Not Paleo, of course! But you CAN use natural rum extract flavoring.)
6 tablespoons sugar (use your sweetener of choice, be it Raw cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, beet sugar, date sugar, Stevia, etc.)
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
Directions
Into a large saucepan, pour the coconut milk and add the sugar.
Heat BUT DO NOT BOIL over a medium heat.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the vanilla essence.
Into the bowl, pour approximately half the coconut milk & sugar mixture.
Whisk briskly.
Add the remainder of the coconut milk & sugar mixture.
Pour the combined mixture back into your large saucepan.
Wash out the large bowl, because you’ll need it again in a few minutes.
Cook over a low heat BUT DO NOT BOIL, ensuring that you continuously stir. (Why? If you let this mixture come to a boil, you will have created Scrambled Egg Nog!)
Continue stirring until the eggnog thickens slightly – enough to be able to coat the back of a spoon.
Pour & strain the eggnog back into the (washed, rinsed & dried) large bowl.
Allow the eggnog to sit and cool until it becomes room temperature.
Stir in the dark rum/rum flavouring.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
Just prior to serving, combine the ground nutmeg & ground cinnamon, and sprinkle a little of the mixture on top of each served glassful of your delicious coconut eggnog!
Now you can enjoy your holiday traditions, warm beverage in hand, with the knowledge that you’ve not strayed off your Paleo track. And as a result, you’ve avoided adding a few hundred empty sugar calories to boot! Nice work. 🙂

Thanks Shannon looks great! The only comment I want to make is with regard to Agave “Nectar” as a sweetener option. This stuff is just High Fructose Corn Syrup made from Agave. The use of the word “Nectar” is purely a marketing ploy to make it seem as if it has a natural origin. In fact is is produced with the same inulin starch-to-fructose enzyme process as HFCS. I will leave you all to make up your own mind, but from everything I have read in the paleo community, stick with a real natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup and avoid this like the plague

Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a completely different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
