Easy Vegan Eggnog

Let us show you how easy it is to make this 6-ingredient, 1-blender, naturally-sweetened vegan eggnog, perfect for the holidays and beyond!

What is Eggnog?

Eggnog is a rich, seasonal beverage traditionally made with eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, and bourbon. Our version, however, is a little different. It’s made with a blend of creamy dairy-free milks — we love cashew, almond, and coconut. And it’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup and subtly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.

How to Make Eggnog?

Eggnog is traditionally made by whipping eggs and sugar, and then stirring in milk and/or whipping cream, bourbon, and nutmeg. It can also be made on the stovetop, cooled, then combined with whipped egg white. Our version, however, is quite simple as it’s made entirely in the blender. No fancy footwork required. For best flavor and texture, we recommend making your own dairy-free milk for this recipe. We prefer a blend of cashew and almond. Then opt for canned coconut milk to add that quintessential thick, creamy texture that eggnog is known for. For a boozy version, you can also add 1 ounce of bourbon per 8-ounce (1-cup) serving. But we honestly prefer it without.

What does Eggnog taste like?

I’ve always thought eggnog tasted like melted ice cream, which makes sense because it’s basically the components of ice cream served at room temperature or chilled. However, to me, our version tastes like perfectly sweet, rich dairy-free milk that’s subtly spiced.

What Alcohol Goes in Eggnog?

The most traditional alcohol used in eggnog is rum, brandy, or bourbon (our favorite being bourbon). However, we think our version would also work well with coffee liqueur, vodka, or (dairy-free) Kahlúa. We hope you LOVE this eggnog! It’s:

Creamy & rich Naturally sweetened Easy to make Festive & Super delicious

This would make the perfect beverage to share with friends and family this weekend. And it’s appropriate for the whole family since it’s alcohol-optional! Hot tip: We also used this eggnog as a base for Golden Milk and our Matcha Latte and found the results delicious. Because it’s thicker than your average dairy-free milk, we recommend slightly diluting with water for best results.
