coconut-kefir-eggnog
I have an eggnog addiction. I wait all year till Christmas to justify drinking eggnog everyday. I put it in everything. My coffee and make iced lattes. I put it in my tea and then a Christmas mug. I use it in my scones and cupcakes and even have made it into a custard for breakfast and an eggnog strada. I love it, and when I made a recipe with kefir eggnog and replaced the sugar in it, all my guilt went away. I could justify why I drink it everyday. It is after all just kefir with a few other ingredients that are incredibly decadent. It is the holidays and I need it. I keep it in a special eggnog jug. I bought this commercial eggnog bottle, just so I could have the glass jug that said eggnog on it to put my own homemade version in.
A couple of times this week my husband asked me why I wasn’t eating much dinner. It was because I had a big glass of eggnog while cooking and was completely stuffed.
This is my favorite version. I have many recipes for kefir eggnog but this is the one I keep making because it is super easy and oh my word.. so good.
Don’t you just love the specks of nutmeg in eggnog? It is my favorite part, the little specks.
Coconut Eggnog
Happy Holidays To Everyone. Don’t forget to have your probiotics through the holidays. People would never guess this is probiotic and good for you. Food should bring you comfort and JOY!
- 4 egg yolks from pasture raised chickens
- 27 ounces of coconut milk, full fat
- 1-cup kefir
- 4 packages of stevia
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- ¼ cup rum vanilla extract (You can substitute ¼ cup rum with 1 tsp. vanilla extract)
- 1-cup heavy cream
- Grated nutmeg
- Place first six ingredients in blender and blend for 15 seconds.
- Chill for at least an hour in a covered container.
- Whip cream with electric mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
- Fold into chilled eggnog.
- Pour into glasses and top with grated nutmeg.
Where do you get your heavy cream?
I get it from my farmer where I get my raw milk.
Does the alcohol not kill the probiotics?
No Jennifer it does not kill the probiotics
i’ve never used stevia. how much is in a packet? and what is the honey or sugar conversion?
You can use 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey or sugar. Taste it to see if it needs more or less. Each stevia pck is 9.8 ounces
Can it be water kefir? Does it have to be dairy kefir? What about coconut water kefir?
Water kefir would not be the same. It needs to be milk kefir. It would be watery and not really be eggnog.
I just had to Facebook this one for my clients – it looks soooo tasty!
Have SOOOOO missed my eggnog!! You redeeming it is like a mini-Christmas miracle for me!!;) Thanks so much!!
OH, this is YUMMY ):
I’m still on the intro phase of the GAPS diet…but maybe for Christmas I can have a special kefir eggnog dispensation? This looks good andyou are so right, food should bring joy 
Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 
Hi, I am on a lactose and gluten free diet .
Replaced cream with coconut milk thickened with gelatin.
And I too love the Nutmeg flakes.
I substitute Stevia with honey.
Thanks

I don’t drink alcohol in any amount. What else could I use in place of the rum extract?
You can leave out the rum it is still good.
And I did indeed beg the leftover eggnog from the class…. and I did not share it a bit. And therefore I admit that I have the same addiction. When I was thinking of the thing I would mention at Thanksgiving that I was grateful for, it was butter that came instantly to mind – but I think I am equally grateful for heavy cream. And now Kefir eggnog. And the Rum vanilla, probably. I’m feeling grateful in a dairy way.
