I used the fat free half and half to get more of the texture of real eggnog and it worked. I felt though that this was more vanilla tasting than eggnog. I'll either cut back the vanilla next time or cut it out completely.

I made this to use with Eggnog Coffee (Non-Alcoholic) and as a trial run for use in upcoming Christmas recipes. As a diabetic I'm well used to skim milk and sugar substitutes and I had no expectations of the richness that you get from cream or whole milk. Still, I didn't think that this had a real eggnog taste (I even used whole egg instead of my usual egg whites). However,the addition of 3/4 tsp of rum extract helped very much!lol. Even with the cornstarch it was very thin and there was a lot of froth on top with did eventually subside. Oh, I should say that I used 6 tsps of Splenda in place of the ask for Equal. All in all, with the addition of the rum flavor, this is a pretty good sub for the fat and calorie laden "real" eggnog. Thanks for posting this.
