I thought this was pretty good...I did need to add 1/2T more sugar and a little more vanilla, but I nuked it for 3 minutes total (twice for a minute, twice for 30sec) at 80% power. It seems to need a few minutes to set up and get custard-y. It also benefits from a splash each of bourbon and brandy :).

I used skim milk and vanilla almond milk. I agree that it lacks in taste. Not "eggy" enough.

The time. Only a minute and a half in the microwave. Also, don't measure the vanilla, just toss a splash in.

Lovely and simple, but the time was too long. A minute and a half microwave time is more than sufficient, as my eggnog nearly curdled. However, up until this time I made stovetop eggnog, and this recipe was blessedly simple and a breeze.
