This eggnog has almost a third fewer calories, just a quarter of the fat and less than half the cholesterol of traditional eggnog. Yet it’s a frothy blend that’s thick and satisfying…and is sure to spice up your holidays.

Ingredients

1¾ cups sugar

¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ 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 cream

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Preparation

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°F, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in extracts. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.

2. Just before serving, strain the eggnog mixture; stir in the cream and nutmeg. Pour into glasses.

Yields 18 servings (about 3 quarts)

**Diabetic exchanges: 1 starch, 1 reduced-fat milk.
