Satisfying Eggnog
Description
This eggnog uses rich egg yolks, nutmeg, and vanilla extract for traditional flavor, but calls for nonfat milk and sugar substitute to keep things on the lighter side.
Ingredients
•
6 cups nonfat milk
•
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
•
1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
•
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
5 egg yolks
•
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
•
1 cup dark rum, or to taste
Directions
1
Whisk together the nonfat milk, evaporated milk, sucralose sweetener, nutmeg, and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Warm over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Pour the eggnog through a strainer. Stir in vanilla extract. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Just before serving, stir in dark rum, if using.
