YES it's TRUE!!! I have been buying it for about an year now. They actually have fat free half and half in the dairy section of most grocery stores. Just as good as the real stuff too!!! It isn't artificial or all chemicals either. Love it in my coffee in the morning. Just thought I would let everyone know.

Low Carb Eggnog

Most of the ingredients in eggnog are already relatively low in carbohydrates, so coming up with a low carb eggnog should have been easy. Well, it wasn't! This recipe is the result of a lot of tinkering with ingredients and ratios to get a relatively low carb drink that tastes wonderful. Our testers decided it was good enough that even non-low carbers would enjoy it and not even know it was low carb. We used DaVinci flavored syrup and Splenda for our testing, but you could use your favorite syrup and artificial sweetener with good results as long as they are heat stable.

4 eggs, separated
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons Splenda, divided
Pinch salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup eggnog or rum sugar free syrup
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons rum extract
Whipped cream (sweetened with Splenda)
Freshly ground nutmeg

Beat the egg yolks in a medium heavy saucepan. Add the 1/3 cup Splenda and salt and mix well. Stir in the cream, syrup, and water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees. Remove from the heat and add the extracts. Cool to room temperature. Beat the egg whites with the remaining 2 tablespoons Splenda until soft peaks form. Fold the eggs whites into the egg yolk mixture and chill for at least three hours. Serve in cups with the whipped cream and nutmeg.

Makes 8 servings.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes Chilling Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours, 25 minutes

Sugar Free Eggnog

12 egg yolks
1 cup powdered Maltitol
2 cups Vanilla Sugarfree Syrup
1 cup Bourbon
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Makes 16 Small Punch Cup Servings

In the top of a double boiler, heat vanilla syrup over boiling water then add Maltitol and whisk until smooth. Beat the egg yolks until lemony colored. Add 1/4 cup of the hot syrup slowly to the egg yolks, whisking continuously until the eggs are warmed. Then add the eggs slowly to the hot syrup, whisking until well blended. Heat this mixture until it coats a spoon. Add the nutmeg and remove from heat to cool. You can hasten this by placing the double boiler over a saucepan of cold water.

Whip the cream, adding the vanilla.

Beat the egg whites in another bowl until stiff.

Fold the whipped cream and egg whites together and then gently fold in the cooled egg yolk mixture. Add the bourbon. (Note: if you wish to omit the bourbon, add 2 tablespoons rum extract and 3/4 cup water.) Chill thoroughly before serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of nutmeg.

Total carbs: 16
Per Serving: 1 carb

Thanks a bunch Peck! If you happen to come across a good egg nog recipe that is made without any dairy (lactose intolerant) let me know. I love the stuff! I can have a little cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese but no milk, yougurt or s/f ice cream. I'm not sure how I'd do with half and half or heavy cream. I guess I should just give it a try but boy do I get ill from the dairy!
