Egg Nog may be around only at Christmastime ... but I LOVE it !! This is an easy non-alcoholic recipe that me and my son Roger enjoy. 


If you see a fat man who's jolly and cute
Wearing a beard and a red flannel suit
And if he is chuckling and laughing away
While flying around in a miniature sleigh
With eight tiny reindeer to pull him along
Then - let's face it - Your eggnog's too strong!!

Low Fat Eggnog


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


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. 

Serves: 6.
