    When I was thinking of all the things I love during the holidays, eggnog and gingerbread were the first things that came to mind.

    So then my brain started to hatch an idea of combining them together to make these low carb gingerbread eggnog cups.

    Eggnog Gingerbread this recipe

    This recipe has 3 steps you need to make.

    1. Gingerbread cups
    2. Low carb eggnog
    3. Eggnog Cream Cheese Filling

    Gingerbread Cups

    Makes 8 Gingerbread Cups

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup almond flour - I use this one
    • ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum - I use this one
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Cream Cheese
    • 1.5 tablespoon Molasses
    • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger

    Instructions

    1. Combine almond flour, xanthan gum and all dry ingredients together
    2. Next, add butter and cream cheese and combine with a pastry blender or with two forks (do this step quickly so the butter doesn't melt)
    3. Add the whisked egg, vanilla, molasses and the apple cider vinegar, continue to mix until small pellets form
    4. Grab the mixture with your hands and knead the dough until well mixed together to form a ball
    5. Wrap ball with plastic wrap and store in fridge for about an hour
    6. After an hour roll out dough on a parchment paper, you may want to use another piece of parchment on top to roll out the dough to ⅛" thick.  Then using a 4" cookie cutter, cut out the shells.  (don't have a 4" cutter? Use a 4" round plate if you have one)    If you want a thick crust like the photos above, ⅛" should work.
    7. If you roll it out too thin it will be difficult to lift off the parchment paper. If this happens, form them into a ball and then flatten them out with your palms.
    8. Place each shell into a muffin tin, no butter or parchment needed as the butter in the crust should be enough.
    9. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes. (I did not bling bake them)
    10. Let them cool completely before filling them
