Christmas Vegan Eggnog
Christmas Vegan Eggnog is a delicious vegan and gluten free holiday drink with all of the traditional flavors of eggs, vanilla and nutmeg!
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk 13.66 once, I used Thai Kitchen brand
- 4 cups almond milk cold
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Cornstarch Non GMO
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Cane Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup Use real Maple syrup, not the kind made from corn syrup
- 1-1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black salt
- Coco Whip or other non dairy topping
- additional nutmeg for garnish
- brandy optional- add 1 once to your mug if desired.
Instructions
- Mix together the cold almond milk and the coconut milk in a pot.
- Set aside about a quarter cup of this liquid before you begin to heat it.
- Sprinkle the 1-1/2 Tablespoon of Cornstarch into the cold 1/4 cup of liquid that you have set aside, making sure to whisk it together until the cornstarch mixture is smooth. Set this mixture aside.
- Add the granulated cane sugar and the maple syrup to the pot and stir.
- Turn the burner on high and heat the pot with the almond milk and coconut mixture until it comes to a boil, then turn the heat down.
- Give the reserved cornstarch mixture another stir, and slowly begin to add it to the hot mixture, as you stir the mixture in the pot.
- Once the cornstarch is completely incorporated, continue to stir occasionally while the mixture thickens, making sure that the liquid does not boil over or scorch.
- Add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, and black salt and stir to mix.
- Continue stirring over the heat until the mixture lightly coats the back of a metal spoon. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. Turn off the heat.
- Let cool on the stove for about 20 minutes and then transfer to a container and place in the refrigerator until cold.
- Pour the cold eggnog into cups. If you prefer an adult kick to your eggnog, add an ounce of brandy to each serving. Add a dollop of non dairy whipped topping, like Coco Whip, and lightly sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
- Enjoy!
