Well, I hoped for the best and it certainly is tasty, like vanilla pudding, but I was hoping for an eggnog like what I buy during the holidays that I can use in lattes (since the store no longer carries the Horizon lowfat eggnog, which I loved; why not???, but sadly, this doesn't froth and hardly tastes the same.

Also, I let it go too long--at 4 minutes it started curdling. I whipped it a bit more to do away with some of the curds and used it in my lattes. I'm drinking it, but I'm also on the search for another recipe.

Where's the nutmeg? A bit of clove???
As for the cornstarch...you won't taste it all if
you dissolve it in the liquid first.
Use organic 2% milk...great taste.

This recipe is a fail-safe way to make good, creamy eggnog without the fat content... the orange zest takes it over the top. Instead of using a vanilla bean (due to being $7 - $10 each, I used natural vanilla from Mexico.

I used bourbon-based vanilla bean paste in place of the whole bean, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. The result was a creamy, delicious eggnog with a hint of orange (from the orange peel. Done carefully, perhaps tempering the egg before adding to the hot mixture might help prevent curdling; and of course, whisking constantly during the addition of the egg mixture. This recipe is perfect!

It had a weird texture because of the cornstarch...kind of powdery chalky thickness, bleah. I threw it all away too. It might have been ok except for the cornstarch.

Maybe I did something wrong, but this was very bland. It did not taste like eggnog, or anything for that matter. I used one teaspoon vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean and I think I overcooked it a little, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I ended up dumping it all.

This eggnog was surprisingly rich and delicious. I really wouldn't know it was low fat at all. Like other people who reviewed this, I didn't wait the whole 8 minutes to thicken it... it looked like it was starting to thicken after only 3 minutes, so I took it off the heat and continued following the recipe. It was the perfect accompaniment to trimming the tree!

It tastes great, but in the step where you're waiting for it to thicken, don't wait too long. Mine thickened in about 4 minutes. I decided to do the suggested 8 minutes, and by 5 1/2 it had curdled. It tastes so good that I'm still eating it, albeit with a spoon.
