For an extra creamy texture, consider using an immersion blender to briefly blend the eggnog after straining. If you prefer a sweeter eggnog, adjust the amount of sucralose sweetener to your liking. For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of nonfat milk. Ensure the egg yolks are fresh and from a reputable source. If you're concerned about using raw eggs, you can cook the eggnog base to a slightly higher temperature (165 degrees F/74 degrees C) to ensure it's thoroughly pasteurized, but be extra careful not to curdle the eggs. To make a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the nonfat milk, evaporated milk, sucralose sweetener, nutmeg, and egg yolks until well combined. (Approximately 2 minutes)
02
StepGently warm the mixture over very low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). This should take approximately 8-10 minutes. Be patient and avoid overheating, as this can cause the egg yolks to curdle.
03
StepPour the warm eggnog through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container to remove any solids. (Approximately 1 minute)
04
StepStir in the vanilla extract. (Approximately 30 seconds)
05
StepCover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (Approximately 2 hours minimum)
06
StepJust before serving, stir in the dark rum, if desired, to taste. (Approximately 1 minute).
07
StepServe chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg, if desired.
