Christmas time is meant for indulgences. If you love the smooth, creaminess of egg nog, you will love this eggnog chaffle with creme anglaise on top. Enjoy it on Christmas morning or as a dessert this holiday season.

Eggnog is one of my favorite holiday drinks. Until there is one commercially available, you have to make your own if you want that creamy, smooth beverage over the Christmas season. Good news: it is pretty easy to make and any leftovers work perfectly in an eggnog chaffle.

Waffles are a breakfast favorite. It’s easy to make them low-carb with chaffle waffles. Chaffles are made primarily from egg and cheese and they’re surprisingly filling.

This eggnog chaffle makes a great breakfast on Christmas morning, especially topped with the crème anglaise sauce. Since it’s easy to make, you can spend more time with your family and less time in the kitchen.

Preheat waffle maker

Preheat waffle maker to medium high heat. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the eggnog chaffle.

Pour the eggnog chaffle batter into the center of the waffle iron. Close the waffle maker and let cook for 3-5 minutes or until waffle is golden brown and set. If using a mini waffle maker, only pour in one-third the batter.

Keto Eggnog Chaffle with Eggnog Creme Anglaise Sauce

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular eggnog instead of keto eggnog for this recipe?

Regular eggnog has a lot more sugar, so it'll bump up the carbs significantly. If you're not strict about carbs, you can use it, but the macros will be totally different.

What can I substitute for coconut flour in the chaffle?

Almond flour works as a swap, but you'll need a bit more of it since it doesn't absorb as much liquid as coconut flour. Start with about double the amount and adjust from there.

How should I store leftover chaffles and creme anglaise?

Keep leftover chaffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The creme anglaise lasts about a week refrigerated. Reheat the chaffles in a toaster or oven so they crisp back up.

Can I make this chaffle ahead of time?

Yes! I make these ahead all the time. Store them in the fridge and just pop them in the toaster before serving.

Is there a way to make this recipe dairy-free?

You can swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative and use a non-dairy eggnog. I haven't tested it myself, but it should work with the right substitutes.

What is a chaffle?

Chaffles are a low-carb waffle made mostly of egg and cheese. The cheese is either shredded or cream cheese. In this recipe, I use cream cheese instead of shredded. The cream cheese provides texture and stability to hold the waffle together, plus it tones down the egg flavor.

Waffle maker for keto waffles

Although any waffle maker can be used to make chaffle, the mini waffle maker by Dash is very popular as it makes the perfect size of chaffle. It will make two to three chaffles for one serving of batter. Another waffle maker I use is my Belgium waffle maker. I like this waffle maker because it has adjustable heat. The waffle maker gets really hot in order to crisp up the chaffle. Although, with cream cheese waffles, they don’t get crisp. They are more of a sponge like texture.

Keto eggnog

My eggnog recipe is a sugar free holiday beverage you can sip on over the holiday season. Make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a few days. It’s also a great way to use up any excess eggnog you have from holiday parties. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes.

Crème Anglaise Sauce

The cream sauce is easy to make too. Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and whip until it’s thick and creamy. The rum extract gives it that classic eggnog flavor.

Storage information

If you want to make up a bunch of eggnog chaffle ahead of time for Christmas morning, you can meal prep them because they can be frozen. Let the waffles cool completely after they are done cooking. Next, flash freeze each chaffle on a plate or pan in the freezer for 30 minutes in order to harden them. Once they are hard, store the chaffles together in a freezer safe storage bag in the freezer. To heat from frozen, use a toaster, oven or toaster oven to heat through and crisp up.
