SKINNY EGGNOG - QUICK AND EASY

Skinny Eggnog - Quick and Easy image

My very favorite holiday treat is eggnog, which is probably the most fat and calorie laden of all. I cannot resist it, but can't have the sugar and fat, so I developed this skinny version and try to keep some on hand during the season. Not only is it yummy, it keeps me from being tempted by the abundance of sugary sweets this...

Ingredients

1/2 gal milk, 1%, 2%, or skim, your choice, can also include some ff half & half
1 pt eggbeaters or other brand egg substitute
2 pkg small size sugar free vanilla or french vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tsp nutmeg, more or less to taste
1 tsp rum extract, optional

Steps:

1. Put all ingredients in blender and mix until smooth and creamy. If you prefer your eggnog a little sweeter, you may add some additional sweetener but this has always been sweet enough for me. Use the rum extract if you like the flavor of rum, I usually skip it. Not as skinny, but you can add real rum if you like!
2. Please note: Eggbeaters are double pasteurized and safe to drink. They are not raw eggs.
3. Please also note: Nutmeg is a strong spice and will become stronger as it sits. Better to add more later if needed. I love it and start with a teaspoon, taste the next morning and adjust if needed. My mom starts with a half teaspoon. If you want to drink some right away, add a little extra to your glass instead of the entire batch. If you prefer boiled custard to eggnog, omit the nutmeg altogether.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 c cold water
1 Tbsp unflavored gelatin
1/3 c splenda
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp rum extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3/4 c boiling water
2 c ice water
1 c powdered fat free milk
reduced fat whip cream if desired

Steps:

1. In a blender combine the cold water and gelatin. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Add powdered milk, Splenda, eggs, vanilla, Rum extract, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Blend on low for 30 seconds. Add the boiling water. Blend for another 30 seconds on low until gelatin is dissolved. Add ice water and blend on high for 2 minutes.
3. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and a reduced fat whip cream on each serving.

Tips:

Choose the right milk: For a richer flavor, use whole milk or 2% milk. Skim milk will make the eggnog too thin.
Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give the eggnog a better flavor and texture.
Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs will make the eggnog too thick and foamy.
Add the spices and vanilla extract gradually: This will help to prevent the eggnog from curdling.
Chill the eggnog thoroughly before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the eggnog more refreshing.
Garnish the eggnog with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon: This will add a festive touch and make the eggnog even more delicious.
