Ingredients

  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • ½ Cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Granulated
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • Tiny Pinch of Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla
  • Fresh Ground Cinnamon On Top

Instructions

  • In large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated together until creamy and well incorporated.
  • Combine heavy cream, milk, nutmeg and salt In a saucepan over medium heat. You want to stir often (so it doesn't burn to bottom of pan) until mixture reaches a slight simmer. Do not let it boil! Adding only a ¼ cup of the hot milk at a time to the egg mixture, whisk, whisk, whisk. You don't want to scramble to eggs. Repeat until all hot milks are mixed with eggs.
  • Pour the entire thing back into the saucepan. Whisking constantly. Mixture needs to reach *160 degrees so keep on low/med heat.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the eggnog into a container and cover with plastic wrap. This will stop a film from forming on the top while chilling. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
  • Serve topped with whipped cream and fresh shaved cinnamon.
