Creamy Dairy Free Eggnog With Almond Milk

0

Hey guys!

Did you know that December 24th is National Eggnog Day?! I looove eggnog, but prefer to make my own because:

1. Sometimes the bottled stuff is just too sweet
2. The kind made from dairy usually makes me bloated, which no one wants to deal with during the holidays! And dairy makes me break out!

I DID discover recently that I love Trader Joe’s O’ Nog (it’s made with oat milk!), but I also stick to my tried and true homemade dairy free eggnog recipe that I’ve been making for years – you might remember me posting this like TEN years ago (what?!).

Since this recipe is still a fave, I decided to revive it a little with fresh pics and some tips I’ve picked up while making it over the years.

Let’s make dairy free eggnog!

The secret to creamy almond eggnog

Almond milk may not be as creamy as dairy milk, but let me tell you – this eggnog is still super creamy. The key is blending everything together for a minute or two to kind of froth it up! I’ve been using MALK Almond Milk lately, which I find froths really well. But I’ve used a lot of brands since I’ve been making them and I’ve never had issues!

After everything is blended, you’ll simmer it over the stove for about 15 minutes to cook the egg. Two things:

Make sure you STIR constantly while this is cooking. Don’t walk away!
Don’t let it boil!

 

I’ve read on other recipes that you want the eggnog to cook to 180 degrees F, which helps to gauge how long you need to simmer.

After it’s been cooked, the rest of the magic happens in the fridge! Your eggnog will thicken overnight and be ready to drink the next morning. YUM.

Ingredients

2 cups almond milk

3 egg whites

cup honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Combine all ingredients – I like to put it in a blender and blend for a minute or two, but you can also just whisk everything together! The key is to get the mixture well-combined and a little frothy.
Pour mixture into a pot and simmer for 15 min or so – don’t let it boil!
Then chill mixture in fridge overnight.
Serve on Christmas morning and pour into nice cups and sprinkle with extra cinnamon!!
