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!
