This Vegan Eggnog Recipe is a delicious, alcohol-free, Holiday inspired delight!
The Holiday Season is well and truly upon us so why not get into the swing with a glass or two of delicious Vegan Eggnog! This recipe is a little different from the traditional eggnog which is filled to the brim with eggs, cream, sugar, and alcohol – yuck! It has all the creamy richness and gorgeous flavor but it’s:
- dairy-free
- refined sugar-free
- gluten-free
We use cashews, non-dairy milk, a gentle sweetener such as Date Syrup, and Holiday spices. This way you really can have a happy, healthy New Year!
How do I make this Vegan Eggnog Recipe?
Traditional eggnog requires a great deal of whipping and stove-top stirring. This version is so much easier. Firstly soak the cashews. If time permits soak them for at least an hour, if time is running short 15 minutes in boiling water should do the trick. Place all the ingredients into a high speed blender and blitz until it’s beautifully smooth.
Taste the eggnog, and adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding a little more date syrup if necessary or an extra sprinkle of spices. The eggnog can be served warm (heat it in the microwave or on the stove-top,) at room temperature or chilled. To serve, you can adorn your eggnog with a dollop of cashew or coconut cream and a dusting of ground cinnamon.
What equipment do I need?
