Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups homemade additive-free coconut milk divided into 1 cup and 4 cups for the gelatin method
  • 1 tsp plain unflavored gelatin powder optional
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg plus a little freshly grated nutmeg to serve
  • 1/2 cup natural honey use this base amount
  • 2 2/3 tbsp additional natural honey optional, for the source maximum of 2/3 cup total
  • 8 large raw egg yolks reserve the whites for another use or the optional finish

Equipment

  • 1 Le Creuset Signature stainless-steel saucepan
  • 1 Stainless-steel whisk
  • 1 Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System BN801 72-ounce pitcher
  • 1 Covered glass pitcher or jar

Method
 

With Gelatin
  1. Put 1 cup homemade coconut milk in a small stainless-steel saucepan. Mix the gelatin, cinnamon, and nutmeg; sprinkle over the milk, whisk until evenly distributed with no dry patches, and rest for 1 minute.

  2. Warm over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until steamy but not simmering. Remove from the heat and cool for at least 5 minutes, until warm rather than steaming. Stir in 1/2 cup honey and any optional additional honey.
  3. Put the remaining 4 cups cold homemade coconut milk and 8 raw yolks in the Ninja BN801 pitcher. Add the cooled spiced mixture, secure the lid, and blend on low for 10 to 15 seconds, only until the color is even with no yolk streaks.

  4. Chill until fully cold. Serve with a small grating of fresh nutmeg.
No-Gelatin Option
  1. Omit the gelatin. Put all 5 cups homemade coconut milk, the honey, 8 yolks, cinnamon, and nutmeg directly in the blender.
  2. Blend on low for 10 to 15 seconds, just until even. Chill until cold and serve.

Notes

  • Full GAPS: Use after homemade coconut milk, raw yolks, honey, spices, and optional gelatin are introduced and tolerated.
  • Coconut milk: Use 5 cups homemade additive-free coconut milk, not canned coconut milk.
  • Honey: Start with 1/2 cup. The optional additional 2 2/3 tablespoons brings the total to the source maximum of 2/3 cup.
  • Whites: When raw whites are introduced, beat the 8 reserved whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the finished eggnog for the source’s optional finish.
  • Alcohol: The source’s optional liquor branch is omitted.
