Our holiday eggnog has half the calories of regular alcohol-free eggnog and almost 95 percent less fat a perfect drink to toast your New Year's resolutions.
Ingredients
- 3 cups non-fat milk
- 2 (1 by 2-inch) pieces orange zest
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Serving suggestion: Ground cinnamon
- Special equipment: Milk frother or Immersion blender
Directions
In a non-stick saucepan combine 2 cups of the milk, the orange zest, and cinnamon. Heat over medium-high heat until just below a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes to steep. Refrigerate the remaining cup of milk.
Reheat the milk mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar. Gradually pour half the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Pour the hot egg mixture back into the milk and cook the custard over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 4 minutes. Don't let the custard boil. Strain custard into a bowl. Discard the cinnamon and orange zest. Add the vanilla to the custard and set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
When ready to serve, foam the reserved cold milk with a milk frother or immersion blender, and fold into the custard. Serve eggnog in cups dusted with cinnamon.

I love this recipe and make it every year. Its always a hit at parties and I think it has more flavor than the heavy saccharine flavor of traditional eggnog. I add Frangellica liquor and burbon- yummy!

We loved this recipe. It still has a lot of flavor but isn't as thick as regular eggnog.
