Veggnog (Vegan Eggnog)
I made this because I got sick of paying over $4 for a tiny container of vegan eggnog during the holiday season. Now that I know how to make it, you can find me enjoying this in the middle of July. Who knew that eggnog is just the taste of vanilla extract with nutmeg and cinnamon?? What a scam it is to make us wait 11 months for this stuff! Now you have your own, at home, any time you want! This has to be healthier than regular eggnog, it's made with protein packed cashews! Zero dairy too. My brother gulped this in a few seconds, chilled. Personally, I love this with my coffee! It positively, tops Starbucks' eggnog latte!
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cashews
- 1 cup of oatmilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Soak cashews in very hot water for at least 1 hour.
- Drain the cashews. They should be much softer than before.
- Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until it has become a thick homogenous milk.
- Warm on the stove on low heat, stirring frequently for hot eggnog. Otherwise, it is ready to serve!
Notes
This only makes about 10 ounces of very thick eggnog. You can thin it down, but eggnog is traditionally thicky thick. And extremely filling. This one is no different.
For a thinner eggnog, add more oatmilk.
