Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fat-free eggnog
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the fat-free eggnog, cornstarch, sugar, and ground nutmeg until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. This should take about 7–10 minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan while stirring to prevent burning.
Once the mixture reaches a thick, creamy, pudding-like consistency, remove the pan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Allow it to cool slightly before covering it with plastic wrap (place the wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming).
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Before serving, sprinkle a light dusting of ground nutmeg on top for garnish. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped topping if desired (optional and not fat-free).
Serve and enjoy your Quick Easy and Fat Free Eggnog Pudding!
