Combine your two favorite holiday desserts into one dish. Keto eggnog cheesecake has the spice you love, with just 5 grams net carbs per slice.
Is Eggnog Keto
The eggnog you buy at the store is definitely not keto-friendly. One cup has around 20 grams net carbs! That’s your entire day’s worth of carbs in one drink.
No thanks.
That’s why I always make my own eggnog whenever I make low-carb eggnog dessert recipes. There are just 5 grams net carbs in each slice of this eggnog cheesecake.
I made my own eggnog out of egg yolk, heavy whipping cream, Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute, and a few essential spices. It tastes just like the drink from the store, but fits within your macros.
Eggnog Dessert
This cheesecake is the perfect blend of eggnog spice and rich vanilla cream. The almond flour crust has the perfect amount of crumb so it falls apart in your mouth as you eat.
Eggnog is one of those drinks and flavors that only comes out at the end of the year near the Christmas season. There are so many different ways to have fun with this recipe, too.
If you’re going to be serving a lot of people at a party, make some Keto Eggnog Cheesecake Shooters. They are a lot of fun to hand out and kids love them too.
Or make this Low-Carb Eggnog Cheesecake Bars Recipe and eat it all week in your meal prep. It has lots of similar ingredients as this eggnog cheesecake.
Keto Eggnog Cheesecake
This is the perfect cheesecake to make ahead and store it in your refrigerator before your dinner or party. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or a lid so that the air doesn’t make it stale. It will stay fresh and tasty for up to three days.
Don’t forget to dust it with some cinnamon before you serve it. That’s the perfect finishing touch!
Keto Eggnog Recipe
It isn’t eggnog cheesecake without eggnog. I included my favorite eggnog recipe in this recipe card. You could even make extra and serve it as a drink with the cheesecake.
I used egg yolk in my eggnog. You’ll have to temper the egg yolk so it’s safe to eat.
Don’t forget to chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight. This will help it set up and have a thicker texture.
Keto Christmas Dessert
This eggnog cheesecake will become one of your favorite low-carb Christmas desserts! If you’re serving it at a party, make some Keto Peppermint Cheesecake Chocolate Cups to go with it.
To add some Christmas colors to the dessert table, make some red and green Keto White Chocolate Christmas Shooters. They are a lot of fun to make and look extra festive.
If you love the bite of ginger, then make some Keto No Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites. They really do taste like gingerbread cookies.
Finally, it’s not Christmas without some fudge, and this Easy Keto Fudge is super-rich and super-sweet but still low-carb.
