Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 5 egg yolks
• 1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 6 cups nonfat milk
• 1 cup dark rum, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the nonfat milk, evaporated milk, sucralose sweetener, nutmeg, and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan. Warm over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Pour the eggnog through a strainer. Stir in vanilla extract. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Step 2

Just before serving, stir in dark rum, if using.
