How to Make Flourless Eggnog Greek Yogurt Cake

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 325°F (160°C). Line your cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggnog, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add almond flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until no lumps remain — the batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 4: Bake It
Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly (like a cheesecake).

Step 5: Cool & Chill
Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) for the creamiest texture.

Step 6: Add the Topping
Spread or pipe a layer of whipped Greek yogurt or coconut cream over the top. Sprinkle with nutmeg or crushed cinnamon for that festive touch.

What to Serve With Flourless Eggnog Greek Yogurt Cake

PIN IT

• A steaming cup of chai latte or cinnamon cappuccino
• Fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds for color
• A drizzle of warm caramel or honey for extra indulgence

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake! A slight jiggle in the center means it’ll set creamy, not dry.
• Let it chill completely — this is where the magic happens.
• Use real eggnog (not low-fat) for that full, festive richness.
• Dust with nutmeg before serving for a professional bakery finish.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store covered for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
• Best Served: Chilled or slightly cool — like a cross between cheesecake and custard.
