Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine low-fat milk, egg substitute, and sugar, whisking thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well blended.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching and ensure even heating. Heat the mixture until it is warm but not boiling, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute spices evenly throughout the eggnog.
- Allow the eggnog to cool at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes, which will help the flavors meld together.
- Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher or individual serving glasses. For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the spices to infuse completely.
- Before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir and garnish with an extra sprinkle of nutmeg if desired. Serve chilled.
- Store any remaining eggnog in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: When combining the low-fat milk, egg substitute, and sugar, make sure to whisk thoroughly to achieve a smooth and creamy texture without any lumps.
- Watch the Heat: Keep the heat on medium-low and stir constantly to prevent the mixture from scorching. You want it warm enough to blend the flavors but not boiling.
- Flavor Infusion: Allow the eggnog to cool for about 5 minutes before refrigerating. This step helps the spices meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall flavor.
- Chill for Best Taste: For the ultimate experience, refrigerate the eggnog for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the spices to infuse fully, giving you a richer taste.
- Garnish for Presentation: Just before serving, give the eggnog a gentle stir and add a sprinkle of nutmeg on top for that extra touch of holiday cheer.
- Storage Tips: If you have any leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days, perfect for those late-night cravings!
