Low Fat Eggnog
1 cup sugar
4 egg whites
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 cups skim milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 cup brandy or rum
Nutmeg
Combine sugar, egg whites, water and cream of tartar in
a large non-aluminum metal bowl; whisk to blend.
Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, taking care that the bowl does not touch the water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium about 10 minutes, until mixture registers 140 degrees on a candy thermometer and is very thick and fluffy.
Continue to beat for 3 more minutes; remove from heat and beat until mixture has cooled slightly.
Pour milk and vanilla into another large bowl. Add egg white mixture and brandy or rum; combine gently with a whisk. Refrigerate until well chilled. If mixture separates, whisk to blend. Top with nutmeg before serving.
