Here are a couple of recipes for sugar-free eggnog - no guarantees, I haven't tried these myself. I would also make it with Lactaid or another lactose-free milk, which you can get at almost any grocery store now.

MY MOM'S RECIPE FOR ONE GLASS OF EGGNOG

This is what my mother used to make when we wanted eggnog, but I've modified it for us:

8 oz. of Lactaid (or other lactose-free milk)
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
2 packets of Splenda
Sprinkling of cinnamon and/or nutmeg, in whatever combination you prefer.

Mix and enjoy.

EGGNOG MINUS THE EGGS

INGREDIENTS
1 (1 ounce) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
5 cups nonfat milk
1 packet Splenda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon rum flavored extract

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, mix together sugar free vanilla pudding mix, nonfat milk, sweetener, ground cinnamon, dash of nutmeg , and rum extract. Mix these very well with a wire whisk for at least 2 minutes. If this is too thick, add more milk and sweetener.

EGGNOG WITH EGGS

Egg nog is thick, delicious and packed with calories. At least, the store-bought versions usually are. But you can make a healthy, creamy eggnog with this easy recipe. (Be forewarned: It takes just minutes to prepare, but hours to refrigerate). Then take some time to sit back and enjoy this holiday treat during the sometimes-hectic season.

(Makes three 8-ounce servings)

Ingredients

1/2 cup egg substitute

2 cups skim milk

1/2 cup fat-free half-n-half

2 tbs sugar substitute

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp nutmeg, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice

Alcoholic version: 2 tsp rum extract; or 2 tbs rum, brandy, or bourbon (or to taste)

Directions

Pour ingredients into a container, mixing until thickened.

Cover egg nog and allow to chill for at least 2 hours.

Serving Ideas

Top each glass of eggnog with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top or add a dollop of fat-free, sugar-free whipped topping.
