Light Eggnog

Submitted by MTpockets

"This is a lighter, lower fat version. By using skim milk and evaporated milk it cut's calories significantly without losing the great taste. And it's also safe to use fresh eggs here because they are cooked. Recipe from Womans Day. Cooking time does not include chill time."
