The Best Vegan Eggnog
Description
This vegan eggnog starts with cashews soaked for several hours to soften them, then blended with unsweetened almond or light coconut milk and Medjool dates. Nutmeg and vanilla extract provide the classic warm spices associated with traditional eggnog. A pinch of sea salt balances sweetness.
The mixture is blended until completely smooth and creamy, resulting in a rich texture without dairy or eggs. Tasting allows adjusting nutmeg and dates to preferred spice and sweetness levels.
The eggnog can be served chilled or warmed depending on preference. Optional brandy can be added for an alcoholic version, integrating seamlessly with the rich nutcream base.

- 3 cups almond milk or light coconut milk, unsweetened
- 6 Medjool dates pitted
