If traditional eggnog is too rich for your tastes, give our lighter version a try. It boasts one-third fewer calories, only a quarter of the fat and less than half the cholesterol, but is still a satisfying frothy blend that's sure to please. Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups sugar |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 quarts 2% milk |
6 eggs, lightly beaten |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 teaspoons rum extract |
4 cups fat-free half-and-half |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Gradually whisk in milk and eggs until smooth. Cook and stir over low heat until a thermometer reads 160°, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in extracts. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
2. Just before serving, strain eggnog mixture; stir in the cream and nutmeg. Pour into glasses. Yield: 18 servings (about 3 quarts).
