Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat eggnog
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- Nutmeg for garnish
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of low-fat eggnog, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, nutmeg for garnish, and whipped cream if you choose to use it.
- In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, pour in the 2 cups of low-fat eggnog. Make sure to choose a good quality eggnog for the best flavor.
- Next, gently add the 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into the eggnog. Use a spoon or a whisk to mix the two together until they are well combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain some of the ice cream's texture.
- Once the eggnog and ice cream are blended, take two tall glasses or mugs and evenly distribute the mixture between them.
- If desired, top each float with a generous dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- Finally, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over the top of each float for a festive garnish. This adds a lovely aroma and enhances the flavor.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a long spoon, and enjoy your refreshing Low Fat Vanilla Eggnog Floats!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality low-fat eggnog. The taste of your drink will depend significantly on the eggnog you select, so pick one that you enjoy!
- Mix Gently: When combining the eggnog and vanilla ice cream, be gentle to preserve the ice cream's texture. A light hand will keep your floats creamy and delicious, avoiding a soupy consistency.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! While whipped cream and nutmeg are classic choices, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or even crushed peppermint for a festive twist.
- Serve Immediately: These floats are best enjoyed fresh. Serve them right after preparing to ensure the ice cream remains cold and the texture stays delightful.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to play around with flavors! Try using flavored eggnogs or different ice cream varieties to make your own unique version of this festive drink.
