During the holidays, my family always reminds me to make the eggnog. Iâve been making it for nearly 40 years, and my daughter, daughter-in-law and I would like to see a makeover version. Ingredients:
2 eggs, separated |
1 can (14 ounces) fat-free sweetened condensed milk |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 cups 2% milk, divided |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar |
additional ground nutmeg, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small heavy saucepan, whisk the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and salt until blended. Stir in 2 cups milk. Cook over medium-low heat for 20-30 minutes or until bubbles form around sides of pan and a thermometer reads at least 160°, stirring constantly. (Do not boil.) Remove from heat immediately.
2. Pour into a large bowl. Place bowl in an ice-water bath, stirring frequently until cooled. Stir in the vanilla, nutmeg and remaining milk. Refrigerate until cold.
3. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating over low heat until egg mixture reaches 160°, about 4 minutes.
4. Transfer to a bowl. Beat until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gently stir into milk mixture until blended. Sprinkle servings with nutmeg if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
