In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
While the coconut milk is heating, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the warm coconut milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining coconut milk, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 160β165Β°F, or 70β74Β°C). This process should take 8β10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.
Allow the eggnog to cool slightly, then transfer it to a glass container or pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Before serving, give the eggnog a good stir. Pour into glasses and top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.
Enjoy this creamy and delicious holiday treat!
