Notes
- Tweak the ingredients: Adjust the amount of sweetener and spices, etc.
- For the creamiest vegan eggnog: Use creamy dairy-free milk like canned coconut milk, oat milk, or even a vegan ‘creamer’ or ‘barista’ milk.
- Soak the cashews properly: They need to be tender to blend super smooth. That’s why overnight soaking is best.
- To add color: Traditional eggnog is usually a creamy yellowish color (because of egg yolks). Add a tiny pinch of turmeric to mimic the color.
