The holiday season just isn’t complete without eggnog.  In order to allow everyone, including kids, the elderly and pregnant ladies to enjoy, I chose to make a cooked version.  It is every bit as delicious as the uncooked version without the worry.  For sweetness, this recipe uses Truvia, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the stevia plant.  It won’t make your blood sugar soar.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 large egg whites

2 large whole eggs

1 quart nonfat milk

2 Tbsp + 2 tsp (6 packets) Truvia

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 cup crushed ice

Preparation:

In a small bowl, lightly beat together egg whites and whole eggs.  In a heavy sauce pan combine, eggs, milk and Truvia. Mix well using a wire whisk.  Slowly bring to a simmer over low heat.  Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Mix well.  Refrigerate until cold.

Pour mixture and crushed ice into a blender and process until frothy.  Garnish with nutmeg, if desired.
