Vegan Eggnog

When it comes to vegan beverages, my favorite recipes to make are a chai tea latte, iced mocha, and this vegan eggnog.

If there is one particular food I’ve always feared, it would have to be Eggnog. Every Christmas, as the supermarket fridges fill up with traditional Eggnog, I feel my stomach do a little dance of horror as I walk past. I mean, raw egg in a creamy beverage? Gross!

Luckily, you can make eggnog at home with ZERO dairy. No egg yolks, no heavy cream, none of that. Instead, a combination of plant based milk, blended cashews, and warming spices all blended together to make a silky and smooth beverage.

This dairy free eggnog is also healthier too- No refined sugar is needed either. Perfect hot or cold, you’ll be making this even in the non-festive season!

What is vegan eggnog made of?

• Non-dairy milk– Any plant based milk can be used, like unsweetened almond milk or soy milk.
• Light coconut milk– Canned light coconut milk. You can use full fat for an even richer flavor.
• Medjool dates– Adds sweetness to the beverage without needing any sugar or syrups!
• Cashews– When blended down, cashews replicate heavy cream or double cream.
• Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves– Warming spices that are a must for this festive drink.
• Vanilla– Either a vanilla bean pod or vanilla extract.
• Salt– Just a pinch to balance all the other ingredients.
• Bourbon– Optional, but a must if you want true blue eggnog.

How do you make dairy free eggnog?

In a high speed blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve chilled.

Storing and heating vegan eggnog

• To store: Eggnog should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.
