Low Fat Christmas Egg Nog

Serves 6

Carey

A festive tasty drink.

ingredients

6 cups skim milk
1 cup “Egg Beaters” (or similar)
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 teaspoons rum extract
sweetener or sugar, to taste (just remember that this is supposed to be a DIET recipe, and sugar has more calories than a sweetener)
2 x pinch nutmeg, ground
2 x pinch cinnamon, ground
1/2 cup of white rum (optional)

1
In a medium saucepan (or bowl, if you plan to use the microwave), heat the milk, Egg Beaters and sweetener or sugar.
2
You’ll need to remember to stir continuously if you’re using the stove, and every minute if you’re using the microwave.
3
Heat & stir until the mixture thickens slightly – enough that it can coat the back of a spoon.
4
Stir in the vanilla essence, rum extract, one pinch of nutmeg & one pinch of cinnamon.
5
Remove from heat (or microwave).
6
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the eggnog has cooled (at least 3 hours).
7
Just prior to serving, ladle your yummy low fat eggnog into glasses, and garnish each with an extra little sprinkle of ground nutmeg & ground cinnamon.
