healthy eggnog

Want to enjoy eggnog without all the guilt? We’ve developed a homemade eggnog recipe that will leave you satisfied and without a gut bomb.

Healthy Eggnog

egg, yolk

maple syrup, pure

milk

nutmeg

cinnamon

vanilla extract

Whisk eggs, maple syrup, and milk in a medium saucepan, and then place on a burner over medium heat. Whisk regularly until the mixture reaches 160* F or so and coats the back of a metal spoon slightly.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then mix in the spices and vanilla.

Chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.

Whisk well before serving.

This delicious, creamy eggnog is the perfect way to enjoy your favourite holiday drink without the need for loads of sugar, eggs and dairy. Enjoy this recipe on its own, over ice or mixed with rum or bourbon.

Vegan Eggnog

almond

up full-fat coconut milk,

tsp nutmeg (add up to 1 tsp, if desired)

tsp pure vanilla extract, optional

sea salt, optional

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth and creamy. 

Serve right away either on its own, over ice, heated or with added bourbon or rum. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will thicken up a little after sitting in the fridge. Give it a good shake before serving again.

This was soooo much better than I anticipated. I’m not a full vegan, but I will certainly be making this as a substitute over the holidays. I didn’t even want to put it with coffee or anything, just on ice with a dash of nutmeg on top. Better than any store bought vegan eggnog, for sure!

Think any other nut would work to sub for cashew? 

This was fantastic! Had it on Christmas Eve over ice with bourbon. I think it’s better than the original. Soaked cashews/dates overnight in fridge just to be sure. Thank you. 

Yummy!!
I make my own cashew milk at home (1/4c cashews for every cup of water). I placed a scant cup of cashew pieces into the Vitamix, then filled the Vitamix with water to the 3 1/2 cup mark. Put in the rest of the ingredients (heavy on the dates, lol) and blended for a minute. Really yummy! Rather thick. Will experiment with the amounts of cashews and dates to get to desired consistency. Thank you for this recipe!
