Homemade Sugar-Free Eggnog {Dairy Free Option}
Homemade Sugar-Free Eggnog will be a holiday favorite you and your family will want more often than just during the holidays!
The creamy taste of holiday eggnog is undeniably a delicious one, but full of unhealthy and often artificial ingredients to make it so. Traditional eggnog also uses raw egg yolks and not something I’m giving my children. Making this version at home is simple and much healthier than store bought!
You can easily make some simple substitutions for a creamy dairy free version. This version is low carb and sugar free but you could also change out the stevia to any sweetener of your choice. Mix all ingredients in the blender than add your favorite sweetener and adjust taste as needed.
All three of my children loved this eggnog. Although it doesn’t have that typical yellow color you would see in most eggnogs, it’s just as creamy and the taste is one that’s hard to beat! I noticed keeping it in the fridge allows the mixture to thicken somewhat, then whisk before serving again and enjoy!
A Few Notes on Recipe:
- To make this dairy free, sub the milk used for unsweetened almond milk and replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and proceed with recipe.
- If you’re not a fan of stevia you can certainly eliminate it and add whatever sweetener you prefer once it’s all blended.
- If it is stored in the refrigerator for a later time, it’s best to whisk it once again before serving as the cream tends to separate from the milk.
- If you don’t have liquid stevia you can use 3-6 packets of powdered, but start with less than taste and adjust to your liking.

What other non-refined sugar can be used with this recipe besides stevia? Do you think honey or agave could be a worthy replacement? Thanks in advance! I hope to try this recipe out!
May this eggnog be heated?
I dont understand what pasteurized egg whites are… can you explain more?
Brenda Bennett;
Hi,I just copied down your homemade sugar free no cook eggnog recipe and I am going to make it with your ingredients but your recipe says it serves 6 people.
I have a 1 person magic bullet blender that I use to make healthy smoothies,so I will have to upgrade to a new much stronger blender to make your eggnog recipe.
How can I go about making your eggnog recipe for 1 person to make in my blender?I am going to use egg beaters in a carton instead of eggs or egg whites.I am lactose intolerant and I use fairlife 2% in my smoothies,tea,and hopefully In your eggnog.

I found your website recently I absolutely love your recipes! I also just bought your cookbook as a Christmas gift for myself.
Is there a good sub for the milk? It contains carbs/sugars. Was wondering if I could cut it down even more? Thanks.
I think I mentioned in my notes above the recipe that you could use unsweetened almond milk in its place. I can’t, my youngest has a tree nut allergy.
I made this today for my dad and me the egg nog drinkers subbing almond milk , mexican vanilla, powdered 9 small packs of Stevia and 1 shot of Bacardi 1862 premium select rum. oMG this was good, tasted good and made me not miss my Homeland or Borden’s. Glad to have a healthier alternative and my wife and sister and nephew liked it who normally hate egg nog total success! =)
If you use eggs from naturally raised, pastured hens, you have no worries about raw egg yolks. I use them to make eggnog. These eggs are from my hens, who are happy and healthy and have no diseases or problems whatsoever.
I didn’t think I would get to drink eggnog again, thank you so much for the SF recipe and all the SF recipes! 🙂
You’re welcome, I hope you like it!
Okay, thanks!! I can’t wait to try it! I’ve been on a sugar free diet for some health issues and the holidays haven’t been easy. Your website is a godsend!!
Could you use regular pastuerized eggs like Egg Beaters or do they have to be whites?
No you could certinaly use the egg beaters, but not sure the nutrition info will be the same or not. Just as good and yummy I bet though.
I’ve never used liquid stevia – is it easy to find?
You can find powdered brands in most supermarkets, but at Whole Foods you can find the liquid vanilla that I love. I also purchase more flavored brands online through iherb.com and I have a coupon code for you YAJ035
Love this recipe – must try it. My mom loves traditional egg nog, but for all those reasons you list and more, she has to avoid it. This low-carb, low-sugar option will be a nice surprise for her. And I’ll bet a little experimentation with some food coloring would give it that yellow color. But if it tastes good, who cares?
I’d love to make this using coconut milk – just in time for the holidays!
I’m certain it would be as equally as delicious!
