Ingredients
- 4 cups fat-free milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pasteurized egg whites
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the fat-free milk and salt, and heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is steaming, but not boiling.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened.
Step 3
Gradually add the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Step 4
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, beat the pasteurized egg whites until soft peaks form, then gently fold them into the cooled mixture until well combined.
Step 8
Refrigerate the egg nog for at least 2 hours until chilled.
Step 9
Give the egg nog a good stir before serving, and optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon on top.
