Do you love eggnog but hate all the extra fat and calories? I found a great recipe for a low fat and low calorie substitute for eggnog. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

From Perfect Entertaining...

1 quart skim milk
1 cup thawed fat free frozen egg substitute *
1/2 cup fat free instant vanilla pudding powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
Freshly grated nutmeg

Combine the milk, egg substitute, pudding, sugar, vanilla, and rum in a blender. Process until smooth. Chill for at least 3 hours. Stir or shake well before serving. Sprinkle the nutmeg on each serving.

Makes 8 servings.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Chilling Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours, 5 minutes

*Make sure to use a frozen egg substitute rather than a powdered or other substitute as the results will not be the same. This eggnog is made using pasteurized eggs, so has the added advantage of being safe for the elderly, children, or those with compromised immunity with no danger of salmonella poisoning from raw eggs.

This eggnog stores well for up to 8 hours, but after that it starts to lose some of the thickness and body that makes for a great eggnog.

I'm thinking about enjoying an eggnog-off of sorts. Lining a bunch up and testing them. I think I'm going to add this to the mix. Thanks for the recipe!
