Plant-based (vegan) Egg Nog

Vegan Eggnog Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)

  • 1/3 cup raw cashews, soaked for 4 hours and drained

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or agave nectar

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Rum or bourbon (optional, for an alcoholic version)

Instructions:

Begin by soaking the cashews in water for at least 4 hours. This will soften them and ensure a smooth texture. Drain and rinse them before use. In a blender, combine the soaked and drained cashews milk, coconut milk, maple syrup, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Transfer the blended mixture to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the eggnog to thicken slightly. Once chilled, give the eggnog a good stir or shake. Pour into glasses, and if desired, add a splash of rum or bourbon for a spirited version ;) . Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.
