Creamy Vegan Eggnog Recipe (That's Secretly Dairy-Free)
Report
A creamy vegan eggnog recipe that’s stupidly-rich, but not absurdly sweet like all the ones at the store. Made with raw cashews, warming spices, and a hint of maple, it's one of the holiday traditions that might make you do something wildly inappropriate with Santa Claus underneath the mistletoe. It will be a yuletide crime what you do, and that’s wrong, but #yolo #noglife 🤷♀️

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 3 ¼ cups boiling water
- 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon molasses
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or ½ teaspoon vanilla powder
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 threads saffron or ⅛ teaspoon turmeric (optional for color)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Optional for Serving:
- 1 ounce whiskey or rum per serving (100% optional)
- Coconut whipped cream
- cinnamon sticks
- Additional nutmeg to garnish
Instructions
- Place the cashews in a bowl. Add boiling water and Allow the cashews to rehydrate in the water for 15 minutes. Optionally, for a richer eggnog, you can soak the cashews in an equal amount of heated full-fat coconut milk.
- Once cool, add the cashew and their soaking water to a blender, along with the coconut oil, molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric or saffron (if using), and salt.
- Blend on high speed for 90 seconds until it is creamy and completely smooth. If serving cold, chill the eggnog for at least 1 hour.
- If you would like to serve the eggnog warm, transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until heated through. Do not boil.
- Whether serving hot or cold, pour into mugs and add whiskey or rum, and vegan whipped cream if using. Add a cinnamon stick and sprinkle with additional nutmeg before serving.

Notes
- 🍬 Too Sweet or Nah?
- 🍬
- Start with the recipe as written and taste before adding more sweetener. If you want a sweeter kick, gradually add more maple syrup until it’s just right.
- 🙅♀️ Don’t Use the Suckiest Blender in America
- 🙅♀️
- A high-speed blender makes all the difference in texture. If you’re still rocking an ancient one, covered in hieroglyphics and cobwebs from a cursed tomb or whatever, it’s time to put a better blender on your holiday wish list!
- 🌰 Nutmegan Thee Stallion
- 🌰
- Freshly grated nutmeg adds a way more intense and aromatic flavor compared to the store-bought, pre-ground stuff.

- For a richer texture, swap out the water for coconut milk or your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk. This guarantees a thicker, creamier consistency.
