What is Vegan Eggnog Non Alcoholic?
Traditionally, eggnog is made by whipping sugar and eggs, then stirring in milk and/or whipping cream, nutmeg, and bourbon, or spiced rum. It can be made on the stovetop, then cooled and combined with whipped egg white.
This non-alcoholic version, homemade vegan eggnog is super quick and easy to make and needs a few ingredients only. It tastes like rich dairy-free and sweet cashew milk that's subtly spiced.
It can be served with your favorite bread or desserts and can be taken any time you want!
Health Benefits of Cashews
- Help lose weight
- Prevents blood disease

Substitutions
- Cashew Alternatives - If you're allergic to cashews or just want to try something different, you can substitute them with almonds or macadamia nuts for a similar creamy texture.
- Sweeteners - Instead of granulated sugar, you can use agave syrup or maple syrup to sweeten your nog. Adjust the quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
Storage
- Refrigerator - Pour any remaining eggnog into a mason jar or an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.

It's really important to pour through a strainer or even a nut bag. It will taste much better.
