1In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer on medium speed until they are thick and pale yellow, about 2 minutes.
2Gradually add the powdered erythritol and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
3In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and heavy cream.
4Heat the mixture until it is steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
5Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
6Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
7Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
8Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
9In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
10Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chilled egg nog mixture until just combined.
11Pour the egg nog into a serving pitcher and sprinkle with additional nutmeg if desired.
For a thicker egg nog, use a sugar substitute that measures like sugar. The egg nog will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving as it may separate.
