Ingredients
- 2 cups (475 ml) half-and-half
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (6 g) Splenda 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) water Pinch of nutmeg
Method
- In a big glass measuring cup, combine the half-and-half and cream
- Microwave it at 70 percent power for 3 to 4 minutes or until its very warm through but not boiling
- After microwaving, pour the half-and half mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk in the Splenda, vanilla, salt, and eggs
- Turn the burner to lowest heat (if you have a heat diffuser or a double boiler, this would be a good time to use it) and stand there and stir your eggnog constantly until its thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film
- This will take at least 5 minutes and maybe as many as 20
- Stir in the water and chill
- Sprinkle a little nutmeg on each serving and feel free to spike this, if you like!
Makes About 6 servings of 1 cup (240 ml)
