Dairy Free, Egg free Indulgent Eggnog
Dairy-free eggnog... it’s that time of year when one of my favorite drinks is available. While you can certainly add bourbon or rum, and enjoy this classic drink by the fire; my preference is to enjoy it without the alcohol. It can be an afternoon treat, a dessert, or sometimes I add a splash in my morning coffee. Whenever I see dairy-free eggnog at my grocery I indulge because that limited time label means “buy now because you won’t see it again this season.” Last year I bought a carton before Thanksgiving and never saw it at the grocery again. In case you missed the eggnog already, I have an easy recipe below to put on repeat for the season.
Vegan Eggnog
1 13.5 oz can full-fat or lite coconut milk
13.5 oz unsweetened nut milk (I like cashew)
3 Tablespoons maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Bourbon or rum (optional)
Blend until smooth. Chill and enjoy
