Hazelnut Eggnog

Phases 2 and 3. Cooked like a custard sauce, this eggnog has the thick, rich consistency of the store-bought variety.

6 eggs

1/2 cup Atkins or Da Vinci Sugar Free Hazelnut Syrup

1 1/2 cups fat free half and half

2 cups water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In large saucepan, beat together eggs and sugar substitute. In a mixing bowl, mix hazelnut syrup, fat free half and half, and water; stir 2 cups of this mixture into the egg mixture.

South Beach Diet Eggnog
Phases 2 and 3. From the South Beach Diet Online's Daily Dish 12/24/03.

1 1/2 cups egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters)
2 tablespoons artificial sweetener (Nutrasweet, aspartame, Splenda, etc.)*
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated skim milk
3 cups fat-free half-and-half
1 tablespoon brandy extract
Nutmeg

Pour 1 1/2 cups egg substitute into bowl. Add artificial sweetener and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in vanilla, evaporated skim milk, fat-free half-and-half, and brandy extract. Chill for 24 hours to blend the flavors. To serve, stir well and sprinkle with nutmeg.

*Note: Doesn't say if this measurement should be packets or granular. Haven't tried it yet, but I would probably use at least 1/2 cup granular Splenda in this recipe.

I tried the pudding variation for Christmas this year. Because our frig was so full I put the container out on the back porch and it partially froze. The end result was a milkshake/slushy drink. The truth is, I liked it so much I may intentionally do it next time! Nice flavor.
