Skinny Peppermint Eggnog {Eggless, Gluten-Free, Low Carb}

This Skinny Peppermint Eggnog is rich, creamy, low carb and decadent without any eggs (or guilt!) This is perfect for those with egg allergies and it takes only a few minutes to prepare.

Let's talk about eggnog. It's one of those things that you either love or hate. We always made our family's special Italian Eggnog recipe every Christmas Eve. 

It was handed down from my grandparents on my mother's side of the family and it was always one our family Christmas traditions. My father made it the day before because it always was a process of steps you would have to follow.

We had the big, fancy glass punch bowl, large glass ladle and all of the matching glass mugs (or glasses).

It was always a huge hit. Everyone loved it, except me. 

If you are like me, you don’t love eggnog because of the raw eggs. Now don’t get me wrong, I ADORE eggs, just not in my drinks.

And preferably not raw.

Obviously this isn’t your typical, classic eggnog recipe, but thanks to truwhip, it is still rich and creamy! Truwhip is unlike the other store bought whipped toppings you will find in the grocery stores, filled with nasty chemicals and GMO’s.

Truwhip uses real ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup or GMO’s and has a similar silky smooth texture to real whipped cream.

Sounds like the perfect alternative to raw eggs and heavy cream, doesn't it?

I used truwhip Skinny, which has only 25 calories and only 2 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoons. As you know, I am mostly sugar free so this is perfect for my low carb lifestyle.

And I realize that it is the holiday season and we indulge way more than usual, but I am always looking for ways to cut back on unnecessary calories if I can.

The best part about this eggless skinny peppermint eggnog is that you just put everything in the blender, whip it up and chill for a few hours.

It’s perfect for holiday parties and family get togethers! I topped these babies off with truwhirl, which is squeezable frozen whipped topping.

It’s light and airy and easy to use!

This goes without saying but you can easily leave out the alcohol for a kid friendly drink or even a mocktail. They are still light and festive and kids can be part of the celebration!

Top it with fresh cinnamon or nutmeg and you have yourself a delicious, festive cocktail (or mocktail) for the holidays!

If you are looking for some other festive drinks that you might like, try this Spiked Apple Cider, Slow Cooker Mulled Wine and this Cranberry Mojito. Or if a non-alcoholic drink is more your speed, try this Apple Chai Latte or Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate!

Recipe Ingredients

• Unsweetened almond milk - You can use plain or vanilla unsweetened almond milk in this casserole. Either way just make sure you are using unsweetened to ensure you aren't adding unnecessary sugars and calories.
• Heavy whipping cream -
• TruWhip Skinny 
• Powdered erythritol
• Peppermint extract - I love using extracts! That add so much flavor and they are sugar free. I love to use this peppermint extract.
• Vanilla extract -  I use pure vanilla extract which doesn’t contain any artificial flavors or additives, it’s just pure vanilla made from alcohol. I use this one.
• Nutmeg - I absolutely love nutmeg, especially around the holidays. I love its woody flavor with hints of clove.
• Cinnamon - My favorite spice! It is so extremely versatile and adds so much flavor to beverages, baked goods and treats.
• Rum, bourbon or brandy optional - Of course the alcohol in here is completely optional. You can use whatever one you like or what you have in the house.
