Keto eggnog and I go way back — like, way back. Thirteen years ago, I posted my first Low-Carb Eggnog recipe, and it quickly became a holiday favorite. Then, eight years ago, when my Low-Sugar, So Simple book came out, I refined it even further into a Rich Sugar-Free Eggnog that was smoother, creamier, and beautifully thick.

But here’s the thing: I’m a full carnivore now, and while the basic ingredients in eggnog have always been pretty carnivore-friendly (it’s literally just eggs and cream, after all), I wanted to create a version that was purely carnivore — no sweeteners, no vanilla extract, no alcohol or flavorings. Just pure, absolute richness with that same incredible thickness.

And I wanted it almost mousse-like. The kind of eggnog that clings to your spoon and makes you pause between sips because it’s just that decadent.

So I got to work, and after some experimenting, I cracked the code. The secret? Whipped egg whites. They give this eggnog an incredible lightness and fluffiness that keeps it from feeling heavy, even though it’s absolutely loaded with rich, creamy goodness.

It’s luscious, satisfying, and somehow manages to feel indulgent without weighing you down. And if you’re someone who likes to play around with sweeteners or flavorings — or if you don’t use raw eggs — don’t worry: I’ve got a whole section of variations waiting for you at the end of this post.
