Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, heat almond milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling.
Whisk the yolk: In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolk with erythritol, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Temper the yolk: Slowly pour a little of the hot milk into the yolk mixture while whisking, then return everything to the saucepan.
Thicken: Cook gently for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture slightly thickens.
Add espresso: Pour in espresso (or coffee) and stir until creamy and frothy.
Serve: Pour into mugs, top with whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg. Serve hot and enjoy.
