I haven't done it, but I can tell you that any time I've used erythritol
in dairy, it's been a really offensive effect. In your situation, I'd
probably opt for a combination of xylitol and liquid sucralose to lower
carbs, laxative effect and bad taste and sensations.

Or some other combination using liquid sucralose to lower the carbs and
other effects.

I'd also use watered down heavy cream in place of milk, since lactose is
such a fast sugar.

Buy a bottle of DaVinci Sugar Free Eggnog flavor, and mix with a little
cream and water using immersion blender to thicken a bit.
Pour over ice. Simple and good, but maybe you want something more special
for Christmas.

Sounds like custard I didn't realise you cooked eggnog. I thought it
was a warmed up version of egg flip (raw eggs beaten in milk with a bit
of vanilla and sugar to taste).

a really lot of desserts begin with eggs sugar milk and vanilla..lol

toss in flour of various amounts and you got pancakes and cake..lol

but yes you can do it raw but safety you cook the yolks in the milk with the
spices and sugar and at the last add cream and vanilla and nutmeg to the
cooled egg mix
