1 cup fat-free half & half

One 1-ounce pkg (four 1/2- cup serving size) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding powder (Jell-O brand works best…see note)

5 cups 2% milk (1% or nonfat will work okay...the stats are for 2%)

3 tablespoons Splenda granular

3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons brandy or rum extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

.

Whisk together the half & half and pudding powder until smooth – this will be very thick. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Whisk in Splenda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and extracts. Allow to chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream and a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg. Makes approx twelve 1/2-cup servings.

**Jell-O brand works best for this recipe. I love them, but the generic brands are sometimes bigger packages and will make the drink too thick. Then you have to add more milk, and it just ‘waters’ it down. Go with Jell-O!
