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.
