Not gonna lie, eggnog always grossed me out as a kid, I liked the flavor but the though of drinking semi raw eggs in such a rich drink didn’t do anything for me. This recipe has totally changed how I feel about eggnog. obviously there are no eggs involved but you’ll be surprised how close this tastes to the familiar Christmas drink.

Homemade Vegan Eggnog is the BEST recipe to make for the holidays for your family.

I personally don’t drink often but this recipe is great with some dark rum, brandy, or cognac. It’s a great way to make it for a party or family gathering. It is especially good if you have family and friends with dairy intolerance or egg allergies.

Also, try adding to coffee or hot cocoa!

I love putting some of this in my morning coffee during the holiday season as well. It’s so creamy and delicious as a coffee creamer. It will have you feeling so festive! I also love cuddling up to watch Elf for the fifteenth time in the month and sipping a mug of eggnog hot cocoa. Kids especially love this use.

Tips for making Easy Homemade Vegan Eggnog:

Be sure to soak the cashews for a good length of time. If you do the rushed method of pouring boiling water over the cashews you still need to let it soak for about 15 minutes. Otherwise it will be very hard to blend into a smooth consistency.

Chill the “eggnog” for a while for a thicker consistency. When you first blend the ingredients you will have a much thinner drink than after it gets chilled. Depending on what you plan to use it for it may be fine. If using in a recipe the thickness isn’t that important.

Use a high power blender or food processor. This recipe can be done in a small blender but you will get better results with a blender such as Ninja Blender, a Vitamix, or a Cuisinart Food Processor
