Keto Eggnog Chaffle with Eggnog Creme Anglaise Sauce

Low Carb Eggnog Chaffle Recipe

Eggnog is one of my holiday drinks. Until there is one commercially available, you have to make your own eggnog if you want to be able to sip on that creamy, smooth beverage over the Christmas season. Luckily, it is pretty easy to make and any leftovers that you have can be used to make an eggnog chaffle.This eggnog chaffle would make the perfect keto breakfast on Christmas morning too. Especially when topped with the crème anglaise sauce. It’s easy to make too. That way you can focus on spending time with your family in the morning.

What is a Chaffle?

Chaffles are a low carb waffle made mostly of egg and cheese. The cheese is either a shredded cheese or cream cheese. In this recipe, we use cream cheese instead of shredded cheese. The cream cheese will provide texture and stability to hold the keto waffle together. Plus it will decrease the egg flavor from the whole egg that is added.

The Waffle Maker for Chaffles

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. Dash also has a snowflake waffle maker available which would be perfect for the winter months.Another waffle maker I use is my Belgium waffle maker by Oster. 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. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases

Keto Eggnog

Keto eggnog is a sugar free holiday beverage you can sip on over the holiday season. It can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. This is a great way to use up any excess eggnog you have from holiday parties. The eggnog is easy to make. It will take about 5 minutes to make.

Crème Anglaise Sauce

The cream sauce for this eggnog chaffle is easy to make too. Simply combine the ingredients in a small bowl and whip up until it’s thick and creamy. The rum extract adds that authentic flavor to the eggnog chaffles.

Chaffle Storage

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.
