Directions
Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the coconut milk, vanilla almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, cloves and allspice over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, with a handheld electric mixer, whip the egg yolks until they are light yellow.

Step 3

With a whisk, whisk constantly, and gradually add about 2 cups of the warmed milk mixture into the egg yolks.

Step 4

Pour the egg yolk mixture into the remaining milk mixture and whisk to combine. Heat the mixture for 5 minutes, but do not boil. (Boiling will curdle the milk.) Remove from the heat. In a sieve, strain out whole spices. Whisk in the nutmeg.

Step 5

Transfer to a glass bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Top with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, if desired.
