Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups nonfat milk
2 large strips orange and/or lemon zest
1 vanilla bean
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
White rum or bourbon (optional)
Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups milk and the citrus zest in a medium saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds; add the seeds and pod to the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl until light yellow.
  • Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then pour back into the pan. Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight motion until the eggnog begins to thicken, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining 1/2 cup milk to stop the cooking. Transfer the eggnog to a large bowl and place over a larger bowl of ice to cool, then chill until ready to serve.
  • Remove the zest and vanilla pod. Spike the eggnog with liquor, if desired, and garnish with nutmeg.

I tried this low-fat eggnog and it was surprisingly good. I'm not usually a fan of eggnog, but this one was light and refreshing. I would definitely recommend it.

This low-fat eggnog is a great way to enjoy the holiday flavor without all the guilt. It's creamy and delicious, and it's easy to make. I like to add a little extra nutmeg for a festive touch.

I made this low-fat eggnog for my family on Christmas morning and it was a big success. It was light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The kids loved it too, which is always a bonus. I will definitely be making this again next year
