Just because everyone else puts on weight during the holidays doesn't mean that you have to. Just as delicious with far less fat.

Ingredients

  • 1 C. sugar
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/3 C. water
  • 1/4 tsp. cream of tarter
  • 4 C. skim milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2-1 C. brandy or rum
  • Nutmeg

Directions

Combine sugar, egg whites, water and cream of tarter in a large non-aluminum metal bowl: whisk to blend. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, taking care the bowl does not touch the water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium about 10 minutes, until mixture registers 140 degrees on a candy thermometer and is very thick and fluffy. Continue to beat 3 or more minutes. Remove from heat and beat until mixture has cooled slightly. Pour milk and vanilla into another large bowl. Add egg white mixture and brandy or rum; combine gently with a whisk. Serve well chilled and dusted with Nutmeg. Note: Eggnog will separate when standing, but is easily recombined by whisking.)
