Nonfat Eggnog
A creamy, nonfat eggnog with subtle vanilla and rum flavors, perfect for holiday gatherings and those seeking a light, festive beverage option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 5 cups of skim milk, Egg Beaters, and sugar until thickened, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and rum extract.
- Cover and chill.
- Just before serving, thin with one cup of skim milk and garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a nonfat milk alternative, such as almond or oat milk. If you want to reduce the sugar, you can substitute with a sugar alternative like stevia. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the saucepan. This eggnog pairs well with the flavors of Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Gingerbread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled in festive glasses, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for an extra touch of flavor. This nonfat eggnog makes a delightful holiday drink that can be enjoyed alongside Chewy Tan Bars or other sweet treats. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum extract.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the eggnog thickens too much while chilling, simply stir in a little skim milk to reach your desired consistency. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular eggs instead of Egg Beaters?
Yes, you can use regular eggs. For this recipe, substitute 8 large eggs in place of the Egg Beaters. Make sure to whisk them well before adding them to the saucepan for a smooth texture.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the skim milk with a non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat milk. Ensure that the Egg Beaters you choose are also dairy-free, or use a vegan egg substitute.
Is it possible to make this eggnog spiced?
Absolutely! To add spice, consider incorporating a pinch of ground cloves or allspice along with the cinnamon and nutmeg. This will enhance the flavor profile and give your eggnog a warm, festive kick.
