Getting into the holiday spirit doesn\u2019t have to mean imbibing in calorie-laden eggnog. The traditional drink can be made skinnier by swapping skim milk for cream, reducing the egg count, and cutting down on sugar<\/a>. Our gift to you this holiday season: a healthier, high-protein<\/a>, low-fat, low-carb eggnog that\u2019s still rich, creamy and as festive as ever.<\/p>\n

Low-Fat Eggnog Recipe<\/h2>\n

Serves 4<\/i><\/p>\n

Active time: 20 minutes (plus 4 hours chill time)<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

2 cups skim milk
\n1\/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
\n2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
\n1\/4 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
\n1\/2 teaspoon cornstarch
\n1\/4 teaspoon freshly grated whole nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
\n1\/8 teaspoon salt
\n1\/4 cup white rum or bourbon (optional)<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1\/2 cups of the milk and the vanilla bean pod and seeds to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, condensed milk, cornstarch, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl until light yellow.<\/li>\n
  2. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then pour it back into the pan. Stir constantly over low heat with a wooden spoon until the eggnog begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining 1\/2 cup of milk. Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n
  4. Remove the vanilla pod. Spike the eggnog with alcohol if desired, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
