Coco-Nog (Vegan Soy-Free "Egg" Nog

Just in time for new years,  here is my recipe for Coco-Nog, named for coconuts which make this nog recipe rich and delicious. I am dedicating this recipe to my grandmother, Mary Ellen Anderson, who can't have a lot of sugar. This nog is full of healthy medium chain fatty acids from coconuts, is low in carbs and sweetened with Stevia in the Raw, which is a combination of Stevia and dextrose which is a safe alternative sweetener, that contains no dangerous chemicals like Splenda, Equal, etc. I am also including the high-carb version sweetened with coconut sugar (safe for diabetics but does still contain carbohydrates but they break down slowly and therefore coconut sugar still has a low glycemic index, plus it has a delicious butterscotch flavor) and a good amount or rum (not recommended for diabetics or those avoiding carbs). Both are delicious! Even a vegan friend who hates coconut loved this nog!

Coco-Nog (low carb version)
2- 15 ounce cans of coconut milk (get the thick kind with 90% coconut and nothing but water added if you can)
meat of one young coconut (if you can't find this, just leave out the water)
6 packets of Stevia in the Raw
2 T vanilla extract
1 T rum flavor (optional)

1/4 C water
20 ice cubes

Nutmeg

Place coconut milk, coconut meat, stevia in the raw and vanilla in blender, blend until smooth. Let sit in fridge until ready so serve, add 1/4 C water and 20 ice cubes and blend again. If your blender is small, you can do half the mixture at a time with only 10 ice cubes. Pour nog into glasses sprinkle nutmeg on top and serve.
