Oh, eggnog! The creamy, dreamy holiday drink that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But guess what? We can make a vegan eggnog and just as delicious! In fact, this year we have asked VegAssistant to help us craft the perfect recipe for a plant-based eggnog that’ll have you jingling all the way. Whether you’re cozying up by the fire or hosting a holiday party, this creamy concoction is sure to spread cheer — and it’s totally cruelty-free!
Vegan Eggnog Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk you love)
- 1 cup canned coconut milk (for that rich, creamy texture)
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 15 minutes, then drained)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of ground cloves
- A pinch of turmeric (for that classic eggnog color)
- Optional: 1/4 cup bourbon or rum (for the adults who want to get a little festive)
Instructions
- Blend It Up: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, coconut milk, soaked cashews, maple syrup, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and turmeric. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This might take a couple of minutes, so be patient!
- Chill Time: Pour the mixture into a pitcher or a large jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors meld together and makes the eggnog nice and cold.
- Serve It Up: Give the eggnog a good stir before serving. Pour into glasses and, if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a little extra nutmeg on top. If you’re adding alcohol, stir it in before serving.
- Enjoy: Sip, savor, and enjoy the holiday vibes! Maybe even share it with friends and family to show them how delicious vegan treats can be
There you go! A vegan eggnog that’s creamy, festive, and cruelty-free. Cheers to a compassionate holiday season! 🎄🥂
